A passenger inside the second vehicle, 18-year-old Sheldon Wayne Stewart of Sioux Falls, pointed a gun in the direction of the driver of the first vehicle, which prompted the driver and his passengers to flee back to their home on West Grove Place for safety.

The second vehicle with Stewart inside pursued the first car back to the home on West Grove Place and began firing shots at the passengers of the first vehicle before they had a chance to enter the home.

The vehicle carrying Stewart left the scene, only to return 15 minutes later. Upon returning Dakota News Now reports, that a series of gunshots were once again fired in the direction of the home on West Grove Place, prompting the residents inside to notify authorities.

The 10 Most Redneck Towns in South Dakota

Are you a 'Redneck?' I guess to some people, all of us in South Dakota are rednecks.

If we use the Jeff Foxworthy Scale of Redneckeness, I have, in fact, been too drunk to fish. So by definition, I am a redneck. And so are many people I know.

Not that being from the country is a bad thing, and it can be fun to poke fun at ourselves.

With that in mind, we found that the folks at RoadSnacks put together a list that claims 'These Are The 10 Most Redneck Cities In South Dakota.'

What is a Redneck?

The dictionary says that a redneck is someone "...who lives in a small town or in the country, especially in the southern U.S., who typically has a working-class job, and who is seen by others as being uneducated and having opinions and attitudes that are offensive."

Well, a few things. First, South Dakota isn't THAT kind of 'south.' We're to the south of North Dakota, but to the north of 'The South.'

Plus that definition sounds awful mean and serious. I thought we were having fun here.

RoadSnacks leaned into the funny, Jeff Foxworthy-based version of a redneck. Then they rounded up select data on places in SD to determine their rankings. RoadSnacks Redneck Criteria:
