Two people are facing charges after reports of shots being fired at a security checkpoint on Wuskwi Sipihk First Nation.
On May 27th at around 11:30 p.m. Swan River RCMP received reports that shots were fired at a vehicle being driven by security.
While officers were on route, they were advised that the victim had fled in his vehicle, and that the suspect was pursuing him in his own vehicle and discharged the shotgun for a second time.
The victim was not hurt and was able to get to safety.
RCMP say the two suspects – a man and a woman - drove to a home in the community and began breaking windows. A press release states that the male suspect pointed a shotgun at a resident.
When officers arrived the two suspects fled inside a nearby home. The suspects were arrested without incident and officers recovered the shotgun.
31-year-old Ryan Kematch-Genaille, was arrested and charged with Assault with a Weapon, Discharge Firearm with Intent, Using a Firearm in the Commission of an Offence, Pointing a Firearm, Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm and Mischief. He was remanded into custody.
A 29-year-old woman is facing a charge of Mischief and was released with an upcoming court date.
