Last night at 1:35 am, the Dauphin RCMP was attempting to locate a 15-year-old male who was wanted by police and believed to be in possession of a firearm.
This belief turned out to be correct.
Officers in an unmarked police vehicle, observed the suspect, along with a 19-year-old male, exit a residence located on 5th Avenue NE in Dauphin.
As the vehicle approached the duo, they began to flee. The 15-year-old then pulled out a gun and fired at the unmarked vehicle. Luckily, no injuries were reported.
The suspects fled to their residence and barricaded themselves inside, where officers surrounded the house and called for backup.
RCMP Emergency Response Team arrived and entered the home, where 5 suspects were taken into custody.
The scene is being held as officers draft a warrant to thoroughly search the premise. the five suspects currently remain in police custody.
