The Kossuth County Sheriff’s Department is confirming an employee of a bank in Lu Verne was shot and killed Wednesday.

The sheriff’s department says deputies were called to the Security State Bank in Lu Verne  at around 8:40 a-m about a possible shooting. Deputies found 43-year-old Jessica  Wieshaar of Algona  lying on the sidewalk in front of the bank. They say Wieshaar — who was a bank employee — was dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Video surveillance and witnesses provided deputies with a description of the possible shooter. A person matching the description was stopped on Interstate 80 and is in custody.  That person’s name has not been released.
