RIVERTON (WNE) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation has confirmed it is investigating a shooting that occurred on the Wind River Reservation Wednesday. 

The shooting, which is listed to have occurred at or near the Ethete Store on Ethete Road at just after noon, also reportedly prompted a lockdown at Wyoming Indian School. 

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office call log lists deputies provided an agency assist at 12:26 p.m. at the Ethete Store, and ambulance workers were called to a report of a stab/gunshot incident at the same time. 

“I can confirm the FBI is investigating a shooting today in Ethete, on the Wind River Indian Reservation,” FBI Public Affairs Officer Vikki Migoya said in a statement. “The FBI is coordinating with the Wind River Police Department/Bureau of Indian Affairs and other law enforcement agencies. This is an ongoing investigation and additional information is not available at this time.”
