Construction stops at an Oklahoma Army base.  An Indian tribe says the government is building on sacred ground.

Fort Sill is trying to build a new warehouse that will also serve as the post's training center. 

The Comanche Nation say the building will obliterate one of the few remaining viewscapes of southwest Oklahoma's sacred Medicine Bluffs.

A federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order that puts a halt to the construction.
