Autopsy: Hartley Man Died from Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

Authorities have released the results of an autopsy following a fatal shooting earlier this month near Hartley.

O’Brien County Sheriff Bruce Devereaux says a 911 call came in shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3rd, reporting that a man had been shot at a home on Yew Avenue, east of Hartley.

First responders found the victim, identified as 50-year-old Robert Leroy Peters Jr. of Hartley, with a gunshot wound to the head.

The Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office has since ruled that Peters’ injury was self-inflicted.
