In Glenwood, Iowa, a couple, 38-year-old Brandon Oman and 35-year-old Stevie Oman, were shot to death in their town. After the shooting, an explosion occurred at the home of the suspected shooter, 71-year-old Dennis Burnell, who sustained critical injuries in the fire. Both victims were found outside the burning residence. Authorities had previously received reports of law enforcement being called to Burnell's home, although the nature of those calls remains undisclosed. Burnell has a prior conviction for harassment against a neighbor.
Authorities found two people shot and a home in flames, Glenwood Police Chief Eric Johansen said in a Wednesday night news conference. An explosion shortly after the shootings led to the fire.
The agency identified the two people killed as 38-year-old Brandon Oman, who died at the scene, and his wife, 35-year-old Stevie Oman, who died at a hospital in neighboring Omaha, Nebraska.
Both were found outside the burning home that police say belongs to the shooter. The suspect is identified as 71-year-old Dennis Burnell, who is critically injured in the fire.
Investigators would not say if or how the Omans and Burnell knew each other. Johansen had earlier said there was a history of law enforcement being called to Burnell's house.
