REGINA – Saskatchewan RCMP say a manhunt that ended with the capture of an armed suspect began after an RCMP member was shot at a house on the Muskowekwan First Nation.
They say the officer was sent to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
RCMP declined to provide further details.
The manhunt began after officers were called to the home around 2 a.m. Thursday to respond to a report of someone with a weapon.
“As officers arrived at the scene, a firearm was discharged and an officer was struck,” said RCMP in a news release.
They said other people in the house were not hurt.
The suspect, dressed in a blue sweater and blue jeans with a rifle, fled on foot and the manhunt began.
RCMP issued an alert, urging people in the area not to leave their homes and to lock their windows and doors.
Seven hours later, the suspect was caught and arrested at a rural area near Lestock, 105 km northeast of Regina.
Charges have not been laid.
