On Feb. 28, at approximately 4:30 a.m., Battlefords RCMP were called to the 1300 block of 97th street in North Battleford for a report of several gunshots. RCMP quickly attended to the area and located a residence that had been hit numerous times with gunfire.
Seven adults were occupying the residence at the time of the shooting. An adult female was struck and suffered a non-life threatening injury. The female was transported by EMS to Hospital for treatment. No other occupants were injured.
A possible suspect vehicle was identified and located later in the morning by members of the Gang Task Force in North Battleford. The resulting investigation led RCMP to arrest two adult males and two adult females in connection with the incident. The investigation is still ongoing and North Battleford Forensic Identification Services and the Battlefords Municipal General Investigation Unit are assisting.
This incident was not random and believed to be related to the drug trade. The investigation is continuing and the police are seeking information from the public. If you believe you have knowledge, information, or video surveillance that could be of assistance, please contact the North Battleford Detachment. Information can also be submitted anonymously to Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com
