Authorities say shooter of Iowa man was 13-year-old son

DENMARK, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say a suspect in the weekend shooting of a southeastern Iowa man is the man’s 13-year-old son.

The Hawk Eye reports (https://bit.ly/2lYbCHG ) that the 58-year-old man was treated at an Iowa City hospital for two gunshot wounds not believed to be life-threatening. His son is being held at a juvenile detention center in Montrose.

The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles charged with crimes.

Officials learned of the shooting when a deputy stopped a speeding vehicle Saturday morning and was told by the driver that a family member had been shot in Denmark. First responders then found the man suffering from two gunshot wounds in a Denmark home. Authorities arrested the son in Fort Madison and charged him with willful injury.
