(Spirit Lake, Iowa) One person is dead, and another is recovering in a hospital after a shooting in northwest Iowa on Tuesday. Thirty-two-year-old Samuel Stoller of Okoboji reportedly shot himself after police surrounded a home on 130th Street in Lake Park, and he died after being taken to a hospital. Before that standoff, Stoller entered the home and shot Nakoma Wells in the torso and an arm, and he survived. A woman who was also at the home was not injured.
