IOWA CITY, Iowa (IOWA’S NEWS NOW) — The University of Iowa student shot in the head during last month’s mass shooting in the Iowa City Ped Mall is continuing her recovery at a rehab center, according to an update from her sister.
Miranda Peters was the most seriously hurt of the five victims of the April 19 shooting, spending more than two weeks in intensive care.
