FORT SMITH – RCMP in Fort Smith, N.W.T, say a man has been arrested after three people were injured in a shooting.
Mounties say they responded to a call for a shooting outside a business in the town’s west end at around 2 a.m. Saturday.
Police have said that an armed man fled the area and a shelter-in-place order was issued for locals.
The order was lifted about 15 hours after the shooting, with investigators saying that the attack was targeted and the risk to the public is over.
Police have said that three people received medical attention.
Fort Smith is located in N.W.T.’s southeastern corner and adjacent to the Alberta border.
