PINE RIDGE, S.D. (AP) - Two people were found dead after a trailer fire near Pine Ridge earlier this week.
The fire happened early Monday about three miles east of Pine Ridge. Oglala Sioux Police Chief Robert Ecoffey tells the Rapid City Journal that the trailer was totally engulfed by the time first responders arrived, and two people were found dead inside.
Ecoffey was waiting for results of DNA testing before releasing the identities of the victims.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by tribal police, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
