WARD, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota attorney general's office
says an altercation between two Minnesota men led to a short
vehicle pursuit that escalated into a Moody County sheriff's deputy
shooting one of the men.
     Attorney General Marty Jackley says Deputy Nathan Bowden fired
his duty weapon and struck 59-year-old Robert Alan Nosbusch, who
was armed with a 45 caliber pistol.
     Jackley says the incident began around noon Thursday in rural
Moody County with an altercation between Nosbusch and 51-year-old
Ricky Jay Christian, both from Pipestone, Minn.
     Moody County state's attorney Bill Ellingson says Nosbusch was
taken by ambulance to a hospital and treated for wounds.
     Jackley says the request for investigation came from the Moody
County sheriff's office, and a summary report by state
investigators is expected within 30 days.
