A central Iowa man is charged in the fatal shooting of a woman.

Police in the Story County town of Cambridge were asked to do a welfare check on a woman last night. At her home, they found the woman’s body in an upstairs bedroom.

Authorities say she’d been shot several times. Her name hasn’t been released. An autopsy is ordered for today.

Police say a weapon and shell casings were found near the body.
