Inquiry hears same stories
Page 1
Two men who were in Carney Nerland's gun shop the evening he shot Native trapper Leo LaChance testified they feared for their lives during the incident.
Gar Brownbridge, a youth worker, and Russell Yungwirth, a former jail guard, took the stand Tuesday at the public hearings into LaChance's death.
Their stories and reactions to the shooting of the 48-year-old Native trapper differed considerably but both described the shooting as having had a negative impact
on their lives.
