Suspect in custody in Fort Belknap shooting

Fort Belknap Indian Community reports a suspect is in custody in an investigation into a shooting Wednesday.

FBI Public Affairs Specialist Sondra Yi Barker said this morning that Fort Belknap Tribal Police and the FBI are investigating the shooting.

She said three people are in tribal custody, and she did not know the condition of the person who was shot.

A release from Fort Belknap said the shooting took place about 4 p.m. on Bureau of Indian Affairs Route 11 east of the Lodge Pole area.

A caller told officials they had found a man who had been shot when the man waved them down as the caller was passing by.

The release said the shooting was a targeted shooting and not a random act.
