SCOTLAND, S.D. — A South Dakota man who killed three people and wounded two others, including a 5-year-old girl, will spend the rest of his life in prison.
KELO-TV reports that a judge on Monday sentenced 43-year-old Francis Lange to three consecutive terms of life in prison without parole.
In May, Lange pleaded guilty but mentally ill to three counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
Lange admitted in court to going into a home in the small town of Scotland, South Dakota, on Nov. 9, 2021, and shooting everyone inside.
Those killed included Lange’s former girlfriend, Angela Monclova, along with her father, Librado Monclova, and Diane Akins. The 5-year-old girl and another adult were shot but survived.
