A federal jury convicted an Iraqi war veteran of second-degree murder for a shooting on the Crow Creek Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.
James Gregg, 23, was acquitted of first-degree murder. Prosecutors said he shot James Fallis, 26, five times last July 4.
Gregg spent 11 months in Iraq with the Army National Guard. He said the experience made him contemplate suicide.
