Authorities say two men armed with semi-automatic pistols walked into the Mr. Money store shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday and demanded money. They fled on foot.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Health Department says another eight people from the Minot area are infected with hepatitis C, and it’s still looking for the source of the outbreak.
State epidemiologist Tracy Miller says 35 people have tested positive and about 500 associated with a nursing home have been tested so far. More people could be tested as investigators look for a cause.
Miller says investigators are trying to find the infection’s source to prevent more illness. She says they’ve eliminated drug use, pain management treatments and emergency room visits as possible sources.
ManorCare Health Services-Minot offers long-term care services, but most of its patients come directly from a hospital for rehabilitation before returning home.
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that can cause serious liver damage or even death.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Prosecutors say an appeal by a man convicted of killing two children on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation should be thrown out of federal court.
A jury in September found Valentino “Tino” Bagola guilty for the May 2011 slayings of 9-year-old Destiny Jane Shaw-Dubois and her 6-year-old brother, Travis Lee DuBois Jr.
Defense attorneys for Bagola said in an appeal filed last month that the government failed to prove its case and Bagola’s confession was coerced by FBI agents. The appeal said the father of the children, Travis Dubois Sr., was responsible for the killings.
The government said in a response filed Tuesday that the evidence supported a guilty verdict and any decision to grant a new trial “should be made sparingly and with caution.”
Bagola faces life in prison.

Court documents indicate Dutton will be appointed a public defender. A pretrial conference is scheduled for Dec. 9.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man whose father is serving life in prison for one of the most gruesome killings in state history has acknowledged killing a man and hiding evidence.
Daniel Greatwalker Sr., of Belcourt, was convicted in 2002 of killing Linus Wallette, whose body was found in a wooded area near Belcourt. Wallette was beaten with a pickax, knife and hammer.
Federal prosecutors say Greatwalker’s son, 23-year-old Daniel Greatwalker Jr., of Belcourt, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and altering, destroying or concealing a tangible object in a federal investigation.
He killed 21-year-old Perry Picotte by striking and stabbing him, then disposed of the knife, washed his clothes and burned his shoes.
Picotte was reported missing last Nov. 27. His body was discovered Dec. 2.
