There actually might be another one, a possible South Dakota Tribal Officer, but only one news story and no info. If confirmed it would have been yesterday morning.

I saw that as well and seems like they're being pretty quiet about it.

Sounds like they are trying to determine if it’s an on duty incident or something else
