COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Iowa authorities say two Bellevue, Nebraska, men have been charged in warrants with attempted murder, robbery and assault in the robbery of a Council Bluffs convenience store where a shot was fired at the clerk.
20-year-old Kayvon Berry-Smith and 19-year-old Kyntral Watkins are being held in jail in Nebraska, awaiting extradition to Iowa.
Police say the men entered a Bucky’s Express in Council Bluffs around 12:30 a.m. July 1 and demanded money. Police say at least one of the men had a handgun. After the clerk handed over money from the register, police say, one of the men fired a shot toward the clerk. The clerk was not hit.
It is not known whether the men have attorneys for the Iowa charges.
