Three white men on Wednesday pleaded guilty for taking part in a racially-motivated shooting incident targeting the Klamath Tribes of Oregon.

George Curry, Richard Sharp and Adam Lee drove through a town where tribal offices are located, carrying signs and shouting racially-biased remarks. The incident came at a time when Indian and non-Indian relations were tense due to concerns over water.

The men must apologize, perform community service, undergo alcohol evaluations, pay fines and restitution and enter cultural sensitivity training.
