FORT DUCHESNE, Utah (AP) — A 21-year-old man has been charged in a shooting that killed another man and wounded two boys on the Uintah-Ouray Indian Reservation in northeastern Utah.

Grant Checora was charged with homicide and an aggravated weapons offense in Ute Tribal Court following the shooting early Wednesday that killed 23-year-old Evan Cuch.

The Deseret News (http://bit.ly/1uf6Qhe ) reports one teen was treated for gunshot wounds at a Roosevelt hospital and his condition was unknown.

Authorities say a second teen apparently was grazed by a bullet and did not require treatment.

The FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs declined to comment on a possible motive.

The two agencies continue to investigate.
