St. Francis Man Gets 22 Years in Fatal Double Stabbing

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A 33-year-old St. Francis man has been sentenced to nearly 22 years in prison after being convicted in the stabbing death of two men with whom he had been drinking.

Daryl Dean Fool Bull was sentenced on two counts of second degree murder this week by U.S. District Judge Roberto Lange.

U.S. Attorney Randolph Seiler says Fool Bull was drinking with two men and a woman in a Todd County house in March when he became upset. Authorities say that without provocation, Fool Bull repeatedly stabbed Russell Sharpfish and Kirby Sharpfish with a kitchen knife before dragging the woman away from the home.

A child who was inside the home went to a bedroom and called 911.

Fool Bull was turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
