REGINA – RCMP have charged a man with attempted murder after a police officer was shot on a southeast Saskatchewan First Nation.
Mounties say 28-year-old Elijah Albert of Muskowekwan First Nation was also charged with shooting a gun with intent and is scheduled to appear in Regina court next week.
Mounties have said the officer was sent to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
RCMP were called to a home on the First Nation early Thursday morning for a report of a man with a rifle, and it’s alleged Albert shot the officer and fled.
Officers began a manhunt, arresting Albert hours later in a rural area near Lestock, 105 kilometres northeast of Regina.
RCMP had issued an alert, urging people in the area not to leave their homes and to lock their windows and doors.
