Police search for pair after shots fired

Police are on the lookout for two men after a truck was stolen and shots were fired at a home in Gunton.

Officers were called to the home on Wednesday at about 3:15 p.m. and learned two men tried to steal a truck parked on the driveway, RCMP said in a news release Friday.

One of the residents, a 39-year-old man, came outside and was confronted by one of the suspects, who was carrying a handgun. The suspect struck the man in the arm with the weapon and then shot a bullet in the ground close to him. The man was not injured.

The suspect returned to the stolen truck and drove away while his partner fled in the truck the two arrived in.

Warrants have been issued for the arrests of two suspects. Police are searching for Wade Wright, 31, and Mackenzie Sabel, 30, of Gimli.
