(AP) — Authorities say an escaped inmate suspected of shooting a southwest Iowa sheriff’s deputy has been killed by a homeowner who said the armed man broke into his house.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety announced that Rodney Long was shot to death early Tuesday. No one else was seriously injured in the shooting in Bedford.

Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Mitch Mortveldt says 71-year-old Jerome Mauderly shot Long with a shotgun in the kitchen of the home he shares with his wife, Karen. Long broke into their home around 10:15 p.m. Monday.

Shortly after 2 a.m. Karen Mauderly called 911 to tell authorities her husband had shot Long.

Authorities had been searching for Long since Sunday night, when the fugitive shot and wounded a deputy.

(AP) — The FBI is taking an active role in training local police departments to respond to an active shooter emergency.

After last December’s Connecticut school massacre, President Barack Obama directed the FBI to work with local law enforcement to ensure a more consistent response to situations that involve mass shootings.

The bureau this year began partnering with a federally funded center in Texas that was already offering training and is now spreading the teachings around to departments around the country.

FBI field offices have also hosted conferences to discuss various challenges arising from an active shooter situation and let them know about available federal aid.

One such tactical drill occurred last week on a college campus in Salisbury, Md., where officers went through a series of role-playing exercises.

(AP) — A 64-year-old man has been given a year and a day in prison in an Omaha prostitution case.

Federal prosecutors say William Knox was sentenced on Monday. Knox must serve two years of supervised release after he leaves prison.

Knox had pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to use facilities in interstate commerce in aid of a racketeering enterprise, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Knox also forfeited two vehicles and three bank accounts that contained more than $4,600 total.

Prosecutors say that starting in the late 1990s and continuing to 2012, Knox owned and managed a “spa” as a front for prostitution on Omaha. The spa had different names over time but frequently was referred to as the Ninety Third Street Spa.

(AP) — Seward officials are working with BNSF railroad to develop a cornfield on the south side of town into a rail campus for commercial and industrial tenants.

The centerpiece for the 300-acre site would be a rail loop that could handle 130-car trains.

Jonathan Jank is executive director of Seward County Economic Development and is among local officials who are promoting the project. He says he will take the rail campus idea to trade shows in November and January in Chicago and sell its potential to possible tenants.

BNSF spokesman Andy Williams acknowledged that BNSF is working with the city on track design and alignment to help market the rail campus.

(AP) — A Lincoln man has pleaded not guilty in the stabbing death of a 58-year-old man last month.

Ivan Fourhorns filed a written not-guilty plea Friday and waived an arraignment that had been set for Sept. 4.

Fourhorns was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Joe Solomon. He also was charged with using a weapon to commit a felony.

Rescue workers were called to an apartment July 23 and found Solomon, who wasn’t breathing. He later was pronounced dead at a hospital.

If convicted of the murder charge, Fourhorns could face a sentence of 20 years to life in prison.

Police say Solomon and Fourhorns got into an argument after drinking alcohol with others at the apartment.

The Hall County Sheriff’s Department says the crash happened about 2 p.m. Monday on Highway 281 when 30-year-old Hermino Alamilla lost control of his car. The car rolled several times before coming to rest.

The car was then hit by a pickup driven by 26-year-old Megan Brodrick, of Grand Island. She wasn’t hurt.

A passenger in the car died after being ejected during the crash. The sheriff’s department says the man was from Grand Island but didn’t immediately release his name.

Another passenger, 23-year-old Jose Coronado, wasn’t injured.

Alamilla was taken to a hospital for non-life threatening injures. He was then charged with driving under the influence and felony motor vehicle homicide.

Eleven businesses in Douglas and Sarpy Counties were found to be non-compliant during alcohol compliance checks conducted by the Nebraska State Patrol.

The compliance checks held Thursday and Friday, August 15 & 16 were conducted at 106 alcohol retail outlets in the Omaha metro area. Of the 106 outlets checked, 11 businesses were found to be non-compliant after selling alcohol to minors. The retail outlets checked during the collaborative efforts included convenience, liquor and grocery stores as well as restaurants and bars.

Law enforcement performs compliance checks to ensure that businesses are complying with the state’s alcohol laws and to decrease youth access to alcohol.

The compliance checks were conducted thanks in part to a $5,840 grant from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety (NOHS).
