Battlefords RCMP are continuing to investigate shots fired yesterday, and arrests have been made.
On Friday, Nov. 1, at approximately 7:30 a.m., Battlefords RCMP received numerous calls indicating that gun shots were fired on the 400 block of 33rd Street in Battleford. RCMP responded and located a residence that had been hit multiple times. RCMP spoke with the occupants of the residence and confirmed there were no injuries, however the occupants refused to cooperate with investigators. The residence was seized and processed for evidence. Neighbours provided RCMP with a vehicle description, and despite making extensive patrols, the vehicle was not located.
At approximately 2 p.m., RCMP on patrol came across a vehicle that matched the description from the earlier shooting. RCMP tried to stop the vehicle and it immediately fled at a high rate of speed.
