Three people were injured during a stabbing incident on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana.

Shawn Alan McCarter, 26, is charged with assault with a weapon and criminal endangerment, both felonies. He allegedly stabbed three people in the early morning hours of August 16 after an argument about a puppy, The Great Falls Tribune reported.

Two of the victims are members of the Blackfeet Nation so the federal government has jurisdiction over McCarter in those cases. The third victim was non-Indian so McCarter is facing charges in Glacier County. It was not reported whether McCarter is Indian.
