MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A man accused of shooting two people outside of a Minot bar last fall has been arrested in Las Vegas.
Police had been seeking 26-year-old Steven Stewart since the Oct. 29 shooting on charges of attempted murder and reckless endangerment. Authorities say he was arrested Wednesday in Las Vegas and is awaiting extradition back to North Dakota. Court documents don’t list an attorney for him.
Stewart is accused of shooting 25-year-old and 41-year-old men with a semi-automatic rifle in the parking lot of Sports on Tap. Authorities believe only one of the men was an intended target, and the other was a bystander. Neither was killed.
Stewart also is accused of firing into a crowd of 50-75 people with an AK-47 rifle.
