PIERRE, S.D. (AP) Sentencing has been delayed again for an Onida man who pleaded guilty in the shooting death of his wife.

Thirty-nine-year-old Herman Kleinsasser Jr. was to be sentenced for first-degree manslaughter Monday in Onida. The sentencing has been moved to Aug. 31 because of scheduling conflicts. It's the third time the sentencing has been changed.

Kleinsasser was accused of shooting his wife, Sharon, in their Onida home on Jan. 28. The defendant also shot himself in what is alleged to have been a murder-attempted suicide. He spent more than two weeks in the hospital.
