Funeral services will be held this weekend at Center Point School for emmalee jacobs. The isu freshman who was hit and killed yesterday while walking ar campus. Meanwhile ames police are still looking for the driver who was behind the wheel. Police say surveilance video near the intersection of lincoln and ash has provided little help in solving what type of vehicle struck and killed jacobs early monday morning in a hit and run crash on campus. Investigators say because the incident happened before sunrise and there was heavy rainfall early monday morning, they are relying heavily on people with knowledge of the situation to come forward with any details that may help. The intersection, which is a high traffic area, is also no stranger to previous incidents involving cars and pedestrians. I would say that 4 to 5 block stretch is the main area in town where we get complaints about vehicle and pedestrian encounters. Even today there was an old lady who didnt see me at the crosswalk and im glad i watched but if it were like the day she died, she couldnt see because there was so much rain and it was dark. Investigators could use your help finding the car and driver that hit jacobs. Contact story county Crime Stoppers with any information at 515 3827577.

The concern was first raised after an individual had a medical issue person was carrying two concealed weapons, but with a legal conceal to carry permit. That led some Library Officials to ask the council if some thing could maybe be done to keep guns out of the library. Even though no one was threatened by a gun owner. Though no ordinance was even proposed the iowa gun owners came to the Hubbard City Council meeting last night to voice opposition to the idea. so in hubbard, with all the calls and emails,and facebook notes, the council and the mayor received they just simply took the easy way out and did not bring the item up for a vote, and made it clear last night that this attempted gun ban is dead in hubbard, and its not coming back to life. hubbard mayor marshall simmerman, declined to talk on camera, but did tell us. contrary to whats been presented by the iowa gun owners, no decision is going to be made, or will be there is nothing to decide city officials do believe the library is off limits for carrying guns due to state law banning guns close to a school, a middle school is a block or so away. The city does not plan to put up signs or do anything about guns. A wanted man tried to outswim police in fort dodge yesterday. But wasnt successful.
