ND school investigating fans in KKK-style hoods
5:37p.m. EST February 23, 2013
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — North Dakota school administrators are investigating a photo posted to Twitter from Friday's state hockey semifinal game in which three fans in the student section are wearing Ku Klux Klan-style white robes and hoods.
Shane Schuster, 19, said he was seated with some friends at Ralph Engelstad Arena when something in the Red River High School student section across the rink caught his eye midway through the first period.
"I thought, 'Are those KKK hoods?' I couldn't believe it," he said. "I was shocked."
Schuster, a University of North Dakota student, said he focused his camera phone and snapped a photo, later uploading it to Twitter. The hoods were on for about 10 to 20 minutes, he estimated, but they were removed by the second period.
