Man shot in West Flat neighbourhood: police

Oct 21, 2019 | 1:46 PM

Three people have been taken into custody following an incident which started in Prince Albert’s west flat neighbourhood, and ended more than 50 km away near Duck Lake.

According to information from police, officers were initially called around 9 p.m. Sunday to the 1200 Block of 17th St .W. for a report that a man was shot outside a residence. One man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

As police began their investigation, a vehicle suspected to have been involved in the shooting, was located near the area of 15th St. and Second Ave. W. Before they could be questioned, the driver sped off southbound toward Highway 11. Members with the Rosthern RCMP detachment and Saskatoon Air Support Unit were at this point called to assist.

The suspect vehicle was eventually stopped near Duck Lake and two women and one man were taken into custody. Police continue to investigate and charges are pending.
