Special security measures in Montreal Lake after fatal shooting.
Special security measures remained in place Sunday in Montreal Lake Cree Nation following a deadly shooting incident. An RCMP tactical unit had been deployed and road blocks had been set up, according to the chief of the First Nations community.
The security measures followed the shooting death of a woman Saturday morning which Chief Frank Roberts said was believed to be gang-related.
He said while the RCMP had brought in a special unit to go door-to-door, the community also initiated security protocols.
“We have different inter-agency areas and a plan has been initiated to make the community feel safe,” Chief Roberts told paNOW. “We have beefed up our security personnel and set up road blocks in the community as well.” Roberts said the road blocks were in part to help make sure certain people could not get back into the community.
