Approximately an hour later the man was located and arrested without incident.   

He had what are believed to be gunshot wounds and was transported to hospital in Saskatoon, where he remains.

It’s not clear if the man was shot by RCMP.

An RCMP media spokesperson told paNOW that’s part of the investigation being handled by Saskatoon Police. 

The Saskatoon Police Service will report the results of their investigation to the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General.

In addition to the independent external investigation, the RCMP has requested the Ministry of Justice appoint an Independent Observer.
