Kensal (CSi) Authorities report what was originally reported as a shooting in rural Kensal, with as many as four people injured, never happened.
Stutsman County Sheriff, Chad Kaiser told reporters that the Stutsman County Law Enforcement Center in Jamestown received a call about 11:06 a.m. from a federal game and Fish employee, Thursday, of a “shooting” that occurred at 8420 Highway 9 in the Kensal area. The initial report to authorities indicated that multiple individuals may have suffered gunshot wounds, and ambulances and authorities had been called to the scene.
The occupant of the home, 65-year-old Jim Devillers told authorities that four people were breaking into his home, saying that he shot two of them.
Law enforcement officials were unable to find any signs to support the man’s story.
They say Devillers suffers from dementia, and his family said he was suffering from some mental health issues over the past two weeks.
He was transported to the state hospital for evaluation.
Law Enforcement gave the “all clear,” message about 2:15-p.m.
Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office and the James Valley Special Operations Team (Jamestown Police, Valley City Police, the Barnes County Sheriff’s Office), responded to the location, along with the North Dakota Highway Patrol, and Jamestown Area Ambulance Service. Two life flight helicopters from Sanford Hospital were also staged at the scene.
Authorities performed a sweep of the farm property in that area.
A North Dakota Highway Patrol airplane was flying over the area, while the Border Patrol helicopter used thermal imaging to look for a suspect.
After talking with Devillers, authorities decided it was safe to enter the home and conducted a search, which failed to turn up any evidence of a shooting, and that no one else was in the home as Devillers reported.
During the incident schools in the area were in lockdown mode assuming that “shooting suspects,” were at large.
School’s that were in lockdown mode were notified of the all clear notice about 2:15-p.m.
Earlier in the day, Kensal Public School, went into lockdown as a precaution around noon after Tom Tracy, Kensal Public School superintendent, was notified about the incident.
At Pingree-Buchanan Public School, both school buildings were secured around noon as a precaution. Those schools were not in full lockdown because the incident was not occuring in the school district.
Midkota High School in Glenfield, had the high school in lockdown around noon as a precaution when school officials became aware of the situation.
A section of Highway 9 was closed to traffic west of Hwy 20 and Hwy 9 Intersection.

The Store will close to convert to Cash Wise and be closed December 8-10, 2014, and reopen as Cash Wise at 6-a.m., on December 11th. The store hours will remain the same: open from 6 a.m. to midnight.
During the down time the store will be updated with Cash Wise décor. No structural changes are planned.
Officials say that prices will be lowered on thousands of items throughout the store.
The main difference between Cash Wise and Coborn’s is that the top focus for Cash Wise is low prices, which result from operating efficiencies.
Coborn’s Store Manager Kyle Wensmann, says “Our customers have been asking for a Cash Wise store in Jamestown and we’re responding to them by converting our Coborn’s store into a Cash Wise. Coborn’s Inc. has Cash Wise stores in several other markets in North Dakota, so by converting our store, we will be able to create more efficiencies that will allow us to provide our customers with great food at much lower prices.”
All employees will keep their positions; no jobs will be lost and wages will not be impacted by this conversion, while some duties will be adjusted.
Cash Wise Foods stores have been in operation in Fargo/Moorhead and Bismarck for 26 years.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Two more confirmed cases of hepatitis C have been tied to a Minot nursing home that’s the subject of a federal lawsuit.
The new cases bring the total associated with ManorCare to 47. They add to the list of possible plaintiffs should a judge grant class-action status to a lawsuit filed last spring by two ManorCare residents who contracted the disease that can cause chronic liver problems and even death.
The plaintiffs face a Nov. 15 deadline to file for class-action status, meaning the lawsuit would cover all victims. Attorney Mike Miller says he’ll file.
Meanwhile, a judge in late September issued an order spelling out rules for protecting patient confidentiality as attorneys trade information. The move was made to speed up a case that promises to linger for months.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – State veterinarians in the Dakotas are stressing the need for people involved in the hog industry to take measures to guard against the spread of deadly pig viruses.
South Dakota veterinary officials this week said two more farms have confirmed cases of Swine Enteric Coronavirus Diseases, bringing the state total to 38 farms. Most of the cases in the state are the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, which has killed millions of pigs in the U.S.
South Dakota State Veterinarian Dustin Oedekoven (oh-duh-KOH’-vehn) says the virus is easily spread, and producers have to consider all potential contamination threats.
North Dakota has had only one case of the PED virus. State Veterinarian Susan Keller says it’s important that producers take precautions such as keeping barns, clothing and vehicles clean and disinfected.

Gruebele says police accounted for all of the residents of the mobile home court where the incident happened.

Officials say they have ramped up security on its systems since the malware was discovered on Sept. 1. Personal information such as names, Social Security numbers, and mailing addresses of more than 15,000 current and former students and employees were contained on some of the affected computers.
The incident has been reported to law enforcement and key systems have been sent to a national forensic organization to confirm the analysis. The school has arranged to provide 12 months of free identity protection to those affected.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Department of Health says 1,000 barrels of brine leaked from a corroded pipe at a well in McKenzie County.

Roberts says the Health Department was notified of the spill on Tuesday. He adds that the leak occurred at a point where two pipes met at a 90 degree angle.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s attorney general says agents are working to combat the theft of trade secrets in the state’s western oil patch.
Wayne Stenehjem says the oil boom has presented “new opportunities” to steal trade secrets. He adds that agents from the state’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation are assisting in efforts to combat those hoping to steal secrets.
In September, FBI Special Agent Richard Thornton told KFGO that the risk of technology being stolen in the oil patch was a “national security threat.” He said the combination of money, foreign workers and the technologically advanced equipment used in the oil fields made it an environment where intellectual property theft could occur.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota is holding a brick laying ceremony for the renovation and addition to its law school.
The Legislature approved $11.4 million in the last session for the project, which will add more space for students and faculty.

HOUSTON (AP) – Texas prosecutors have filed a motion to revoke Adrian Peterson’s bond and have him re-arrested after the Minnesota Vikings running back allegedly admitted to smoking marijuana while awaiting trial on a felony child abuse charge. He allegedly told a worker conducting his urinalysis exam during a Wednesday court appearance that “he smoked a little weed.” Not taking any illegal drugs are common terms to adhere to when out on bond.
DETROIT (AP) – The Detroit Lions have barred a teenager from all Ford Field events for using a laser pointer at a game against the Bills Sunday. Buffalo quarterback Kyle Orton and holder Colton Schmidt said they had a laser directed at them during a 17-14 win over the Lions.

BALTIMORE (AP) – The Baltimore Orioles will have shortstop J.J. Hardy for a few more seasons, and they don’t plan to have Chris Davis for the American League Championship Series against Kansas City.
Hardy has signed a three-year contract that includes an option for 2018. Hardy has averaged 21 homers in his four seasons with the Orioles and won Gold Gloves in 2012 and 2013. He batted .268 with nine homers and 52 RBIs in 141 games this season and was 3-for-10 in the American League Division Series versus the Tigers
Hardy could have become a free agent after this season.
Meanwhile, Orioles manager Buck Showalter says first baseman Chris Davis won’t be added to the team’s 25-man roster for the AL championship series against Kansas City. Davis still has five more games to serve in a 25-game suspension he received from Major League Baseball on Sept. 12 for testing positive for Adderall, a banned amphetamine. He could be put on the roster if the series goes at least six games and the Orioles lose a player due to injury.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Two states with strict voter ID laws have suffered legal setbacks that may not resolve before the November election.
