TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 2002 Two South Dakota teens were turned over to the state corrections department last month after admitting to shooting a gun at members of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe girls basketball team. The boys admitted to the charges at a juvenile court proceeding on May 14. Circuit Judge Jon Erickson said they are probably in boot camp. The boys were charged in connection with a November 2001 incident which drew national attention. During a game, racial taunts were heard as the tribe's team played. Tensions continued afterward and five members of the team, along with a 20-year-old female friend, were chased by the two boys. N.M. admitted to pulling the trigger and his friend, J.F., admitted to helping. Get the Story:
