HIAWATHA, Iowa (AP) No charges will be filed in the death of a Hiawatha man who was shot during a gun battle last year, Linn County Attorney Jerry Vander Sanden said.
Joshua Lathrop died and three others were injured May 30 at the Sunset Village Mobile Home Park in Hiawatha.
Two brothers who were armed went to the trailer court after hearing that one of their girlfriends had been attacked. An intoxicated Lathrop confronted the brothers and several residents armed with bats and handguns joined the argument, KCRG-TV reported.
