WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say a man fatally shot a relative on Christmas Day in an Iowa home.

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s deputies responded around 4:30 p.m. after a resident called 911 to report that there had been a shooting between family members. Forty-three-year-old Chad Buck was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Deputies determined that there was an argument before the shooting at Buck’s rural home.



Capt. Mark Herbst of the sheriff’s department said in a news release that no further information, including the names of others involved, will be made public at this time pending further investigation and the results of the victim’s autopsy.

The autopsy will be performed at the Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny this week.
