UPDATE: Police find one accused in assault on Flying Dust First Nation, one still remains at large

At around 2:30 Tuesday morning, Meadow Lake RCMP received a report of a shooting at a home on the reserve. Upon arriving at the residence, they found an injured man who was then taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The man is said to be in stable condition.

RCMP investigation has determined that the two boys approached the home where an altercation broke out between the two parties, resulting in one of the boys shooting the man. The boys then fled the scene and remain at large.

With assistance from North Battleford RCMP and Saskatoon Provincial General Investigation Sections, Meadow Lake RCMP has charged the youths with one count each of attempted murder among numerous other offences. A warrant has been issued for both of their arrests.

Since the boys are both under 18, their names cannot be released as per the Youth Criminal Justice Act. However, a provision under the act will allow their names to be released under certain circumstances including assisting in apprehending them. Meadow Lake RCMP is currently looking into that possibility.

RCMP believes that there are individuals who have information on the incident and on the whereabouts of the two boys. Anyone with information on the incident is being asked to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
