A man involved in the shooting of an RCMP officer in Onanole last year has pleaded guilty to charges laid against him.

Shane Beaulieu entered guilty pleas this morning in Brandon provincial court to possession of property obtained by crime, two firearm-related charges, and two counts of break and enter.

Beaulieu, along with three other men, was arrested after Corporal Graeme Kingdon was shot and seriously injured while investigating a break-in near Onanole in August of 2018.

The shooting resulted in a massive search for the suspects that lasted until the next afternoon.

During the manhunt, Beaulieu was arrested while walking down a road in the area around 6 am. He has been out of custody on bail since October 2018.

Therae Racette-Beaulieu, the man who admitted to the shooting, is currently serving a 15-year-prison sentence for attempted murder, and another three years for the crimes that led up to the shooting.

Racette-Beaulieu also faces charges in connection with a stabbing at the Brandon Correction Centre after his sentencing.

Delaney Houle and Tommy Beaulieu also pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.

31-year-old Shane Beaulieu has been to jail several times in the past.

He is set to be sentenced in May.
