Tourists Injured During Old West Shootout Show

HILL CITY, South Dakota -- An Old West shootout staged as part of a charity fundraiser may have come a little too close to the real thing when three tourists were injured.

South Dakota authorities say the three were injured Friday night at a shootout in Hill City and taken to a hospital about 30 miles away. A Pennington County sheriff's spokesman says the tourists' injuries are not life-threatening.

No further details have been released.

The shootout staged by volunteer cowboys from Rapid City is a regular summer attraction in the area and a fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network.

The president of the Hill City Area Chamber of Commerce, Brenda Nolting, told the Rapid City Journal that the injuries were a "horrible thing" and the event should be stopped.
