Highmore Shooting
10/29/2007
[Excerpts] A man who served as police chief in two central South Dakota towns is now at the center of a shooting investigation.... The attorney general's office says Huber called 911 late Sunday night from the couple's home in Highmore but the AG's office isn't releasing any other details at this point. HUBER IS NOT IN CUSTODY AT THIS TIME. PAM HUBER IS IN A SIOUX FALLS HOSPITAL TONIGHT AND IS LISTED IN CRITICAL CONDITION. She's Highmore's city finance officer and also runs a small embroidery business in town... As for Ken Huber. He had worked as Highmore's Police Chief for nearly ten years. This summer he took a leave of absence to go work in Miller to help that police department out. But in August, the Highmore City Council asked Huber to make a decision of where he wanted to work, Highmore or Miller. He chose Miller. But city officials told KELOLAND News Huber only worked there for a few months before resigning in October.

Another lose cannon chief of police in SD? Doesn't surprise me! Why does the dept keep hiring, or retaining people who lack emotionally stability?
