FROM THE IOWA DCI:
Northwood, IOWA – On September 22, 2013, at about 11:30 pm, a Deputy with the Worth County Sheriff’s Department was notified of a possible domestic assault in progress at 208 4th Street North in Northwood, Iowa. The Deputy responded to the residence where he heard a female yelling and screaming for help. The Deputy entered the residence and discovered a male subject severely beating a female victim. Additional Deputies arrived on scene and attempted to subdue the male subject and eventually were able to handcuff him. While the suspect was handcuffed, he became unresponsive. Efforts to revive him at the scene were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead.
The female victim was life-flighted to Rochester, MN where she is being treated for stab wounds and blunt force injuries. Initial indication is that the male and female were involved in a personal relationship.
The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation has responded to the scene and is assisting with the death investigation. An autopsy of the male subject will take place at the Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny, Iowa. Names of the deceased male and female victim are not being released at this time, pending family notification.

I grew up in northwood, and it was a nice peacefull town. never locked our doors or cars. yes, there were some drug dealers that started up in the 70’s, but mostly small time, and not violent. shame that they were there, but every town has some drug problems. never had any stbbings/murders until this summer. it is a shame that things have gotten so bad.
I would blame Obuma sense he’s been in office the whole American country has gone to hell and is going to get worse especially if his Obuma care starts.

Outlaw all knives. Everyone must turn all knives in their possession to authorities.
Don’t forget hammers. Hammers kill too.
As a former Chicagoans I must no longer be welcome in North Iowa.
Mason City also has its share of imports from Detroit, Chicago, and Cincinnati. Detroit went bankrupt and the welfare rates in Chicago and the bankrupt city of Detroit are very low compared to Iowa. I live near one of them from Chicago. Their car is a stolen one because it has been spray-painted and that is what they do in Illinois. Also they have lived here over 2 years and have never obtained Iowa license plates Also there is an Illinois car with no plates near me. I called the PD but they said that they are too busy to bother with it.
Thank you again, North Iowa Regional Housing Authority.
WE the people that ACTUALLY live in worthless county iowa know that the government is ACTUALLY bringing in BUSLOADS of welfare people from the bankrupt states nearby to worth county for residence –
Alot of welfare people from obamas home town have been transferred to Iowa by the us govy because illinois is low on mula – truth be told !Northwood got their own low income neighbor hoody real fast.
Now this stabbing incident is the President’s fault?! Do you know how ignorant you sound..you ARE?
It never was a nice peaceful town. It has always been full of drugs. It is just since the outsiders from other states have moved in that the major crimes have started. As far as the police are concerned it has always been there. They just kept it under wraps.
Probably not related, BUT, Northwood used to be a very nice peacefull town, since the casino, I believe 3 different police chiefs, several cops, numerous different council people, etc. Murders, beatings, assults, on and on. In a town hardly big enough to have a policeman. Whats the deal up there???
