MADISON, S.D. (AP) - An affidavit suggests a 50-year-old grudge
between a high school sports star and a classmate may have led a
73-year-old Watertown man to shoot and kill a retired teacher in
the eastern South Dakota city of Madison.
Carl Ericsson made his first appearance in court Thursday and
was denied bond. He's accused of shooting retired Madison High
School teacher and track coach Norman Johnson after Johnson
answered the door at his house on Tuesday evening.
Court records say Johnson's wife, Barbara, found him lying on
the floor and saw a man walking to a dark sedan parked outside.
An autopsy says that Johnson died of two gunshot wounds to the
face.
