ShootingHe said police were orig-
inally called to the home at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday to deal with an unwanted person. Meirose, who joined the force in 2013, was the first officer at the scene.
Rud said Locke charged Meirose with a knife as Meirose stood in the door-way.
“The officer drew his weapon and shot the sub-ject several times,” he said, later estimating that up to five shots were fired.
Rud said Locke, a Rapid City resident, was presum-ably intoxicated, though evidence has not yet con-firmed that. He said a sec-ond officer arrived shortly after the shooting. Nobody i n t h e re s i d e n ce wa s harmed; Meirose was also uninjured.
Rud said Locke had ties to the neighborhood but didn’t detail what ties there were. DCI is now inves-tigating the details of the incident.
The shooting is the sec-ond fatal police shooting in
2014. Police in June shot and killed Harold Mur-phy, 35, who had pulled a gun on Rapid City Police Officer Lucas Lang as they wrestled in the parking lot of the Clock Tower Gar-dens apartment complex, according to the police.
Melaine Stoneman, 43, of Rapid City attended the Sunday morning confer-ence and later the prayer and mourning ceremony at Lakota Community Homes.
Stoneman detailed the conference as “narrow, fast, and blunt.”
“That’s exactly what
they did in that press con-ference is justify every-thing,” she said, while noting that the incident is only part of a longstand-ing relations issue between local law enforcement and the Native American com-munity. “That’s our son. Any mother (here) would say that.”
“There is no trust in the police department,” Stone-man said, who also called for a task force to address the issue. “In the long run, it’s going to have to come from the city: the mayor, the chief of police.”
There will be a prayer gathering at 10 a.m. today outside the Rapid City mayor’s office, 300 Sixth St., according to a state-ment released late Sun-day by Chase Iron Eyes, a representative of Locke’s family.
“Allen was many things to many people and he would want us to remain peaceful and prayerful dur-ing this most trying time for our family,” Iron Eyes said in the statement.
The shooting came roughly 24 hours after an anti-police brutality
march, organized by Amer-ican Indian Movement Grassroots, was held in Rapid City. The march was organized to draw atten-tion to the often strained re l a t i o n s h i p b e twe e n Native Americans and law enforcement.
Terry Schumacher, 58, lives near the residence where Locke was shot Sat-urday. He was shocked at the incident. But ultimately, he said, it’s far too early to make a judgement call on whether the shooting is tied to race, though the accusations have become steadfast.
“I’ve seen amazingly crazy things. I’ve seen amazingly beautiful things, just like anywhere else,” Schumacher said, talking about the Lakota Homes subdivision. “Everybody needs to see how it will all play out.”
One fact, however, should stand at the forefront of the issue he said, “Your actions are everything. (The police) were called there.”

GrantBen Snow, president of
the Rapid City Economic Development Partnership and a board member for the Black Hills Air Service Partnership, said Bach-wich’s youth, enthusiasm and immense knowledge of airlines have been a major contribution to the Air Ser-vice Partnership.
“He comes from an extremely strong back-ground, he always knows his stuff, he has a pas-sion for it and he’s proven himself to be extremely knowledgeable to all things related to airports and air-port services,” Snow said.
Bachwich will be gradu-ating from Mines in the spring and has already submitted applications to several top graduate schools throughout the country.
Despite having helped achieve something that
most teenagers would not even imagine doing, Bach-wich is extremely humble. He consistently deflects praise to the entire sub-committee whenever his role in securing the grant is mentioned and bristles when his youth is brought up, saying he didn’t want his age to overshadow what he felt was most important: the fact that the airport has funding that it can use to enhance and expand the Rapid City to Atlanta con-nection established this summer.
Although some of the older members used to occasionally tease him about how quickly he was going to graduate from Mines, his colleagues on the board generally for-got about his age once he showed what he had to contribute.
“I value a person’s knowledge, expertise and passion and if they have
that, then the age aspect fades into the background,” Snow said.
Upon first impression, it’s easy to see how some-one could forget Bachwich’s age. He dressed in business casual attire, drank cof-fee during the interview and spoke with the poise and maturity of someone twice his age.
If anything, his youth has helped the group ana-lyze ideas from a different perspective, Rabe said.
“One of things we saw that made a big difference was that he had fresh, young eyes,” she said. “He did a lot of great research and brought some fresh new ideas.”
Regardless of his age, it appeared as though just about everyone who has worked with him couldn’t help but marvel at his intelligence.
Julie Schmitz Jensen, another member of the
Black Hills Airline Ser-vice Partnership and the director of the Rapid City Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the Partner-ship is very lucky to have him as a member.
“I’ve always said if I could buy stock in that yo u n g m a n ’s f u t u re I would,” she said. “He is going to do great things.”
Schmitz Jensen said a small segment of the air-line partnership formed a marketing task force that will discuss the best way to maximize the $500,000 grant.
“ We wa n t to m a ke our presence known in Atlanta,” she said. “We’re still brainstorming ideas
on how to use the money.”The $325,000 Small
Community Air Service D eve l o p m e n t m a tc h -ing grant from The U.S. Department of Trans-portation was secured after Black Hills Vision, a regional economic-devel-o p m e n t o rga n i za t i o n , guaranteed it would pro-vide the $175,000 worth of matching funds if needed.
Airport officials are looking for other sources of financing so Black Hills Vision doesn’t have to foot the whole bill.

IN BRIEF
Woman convictedon fraud charge
A South Dakota woman accused of using some-one else’s name and Social Security number to open bank accounts and receive debit and cash cards from two banks has been sen-tenced.

Prosecutors say Suhr also obtained social secu-rity benefits, housing assistance and food stamps using the other person’s p e rs o n a l i n fo r m a t i o n between the late 1980s and 2013.
The Nisland woman is now under the custody of the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
