A man is dead and another has been arrested after a shooting south of Winnipeg that led to a manhunt in Saskatchewan.

Winnipeg police say they were alerted by RCMP early this morning about people with guns in a stolen truck heading toward the city.

Police say after a chase, the stolen vehicle rammed a police cruiser, officers fired and the suspects sped off.

They say officers caught up to the truck, managed to arrest a woman who tried to flee on foot and found a man in the vehicle who had been shot.
