Yesterday Morning RCMP responded to 3 incidents of firearms being discharged in the Beausejour area, two new reports came in after the fact.
The 1st incident was reported at 4:30 in the morning. in a parking lot at Birds Hill Provincial Park. A witness saw a dark coloured pickup truck slowly pulling into the parking lot where it then made a u-turn, exited the parking lot, and fired a gun at a parked vehicle. The vehicle was struck and damaged.
Shortly after that, three more incidents occurred in the RM of Brokenhead. The first reported incident was at a rural location west of Beausejour where the main bay window of a home was shot at and damaged at 5:20 in the morning. The last two incidents occurred within a few minutes of each other at approximately 5:35 am at 2 different residences in the Garson area. The first report saw an upper-level bedroom window receiving damage from two shots. Approximately one hour later, another report in the same area was received as a Garson resident woke up to find bullet holes in two windows. The two Garson incidents are thought to have both occurred at the same time.
Later on that day, another report was made from a location in the RM of Brokenhead where the suspect vehicle was caught on surveillance video firing three shots at the property early yesterday morning. No injuries were reported in any of these incidents, but there is significant property damage at each location. More than one firearm is believed to have been used in the incidents.
The most recent description of the vehicle is a newer model, dark-coloured, four-door GMC or Chevrolet pick-up truck.
