Former Tourism secretary Benda dies of gunshot

• PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- A former South Dakota state tourism director has died of a gunshot wound.
• Richard Benda was Secretary of Tourism and State Development from 2006 to 2010 under former Gov. Mike Rounds, who says his thoughts and prayers are with the family.
• Gov. Dennis Daugaard put out a statement Tuesday saying Benda was found earlier in the day near Lake Andes, in southeast South Dakota. Daugaard expressed his condolences to friends and family.
• Attorney General Marty Jackley says it's standard procedure to investigate such a death. He says there will be an autopsy and investigators will collect evidence from the scene and interview any witnesses to determine if it was an accident, suicide or a crime.
• Jackley says the body was found at a grove of trees.
