Tribe puts limits on shooting coverage

The 16-year-old gunman who killed nine people and himself on a remote Indian reservation professed admiration for Hitler and doodled swastikas on his high school notebook, according to a schoolmate and one of his relatives.Police in this Indian reservation town have imposed strict limits on journalists trying to cover the nation's deadliest school shooting since Columbine, even arresting two photographers who allegedly violated the rules..."Exiting this road constitutes trespassing," according to a flyer handed out by tribal officials. "Repeated attempts to interview witnesses is viewed as interfering with a federal investigation. Under the Authority of the Red Lake Tribal Chairman, you may be removed from the Reservation."
