Residents of a northeast Iowa community are searching for answers after a weekend shooting has uncovered ethnic troubles. Reverend T-M Marks says Postville is struggling with the growth of local industry that’s attracted hundreds of people from different ethnic groups.Community leaders say Postville is now home to people from 21 ethnic groups who speak nine languages. Reverend Marks says many residents haven’t welcomed that change. He says the town had been very isolated, but now they can’t be that way because the world is coming to them.Marks says the community has to resolve differences and communication problems between the different groups. 23-year-old Gerardo Gonzalez of Postville is charged in the Saturday shooting death of 23-year-old Francisco Costilla, also of Postville.
