WITCHEKAN LAKE FIRST NATION – Saskatchewan RCMP have issued a second alert for two armed suspects in a reported shooting Monday morning on the First Nation northwest of Saskatoon.
They said in a province-wide alert Monday morning that there were reports of a shooting in the Witchekan Lake First Nation, but later scaled back the search for suspects to focus on the area of Witchekan, Sask.
Police say in a tweet that Kelly Whitchekan has brown hair, brown eyes, is 5 feet 9 inches and 140 pounds, and Melvin Starblackett has black hair, brown eyes, is also 5 feet 9 and weighs 160 pounds.
Mounties say they have located the dark red Ford Mustang described in the earlier alert and say they are no longer involved in the investigation.
Residents are advised to stay inside and lock their doors.
Mounties say the shooting is not believed to be connected to Sunday’s fatal stabbing in the Cree Nation of James Smith and the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon.
One suspect in those attacks is still at large.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published on September 5, 2022.
