A 35-year-old man from northern Manitoba is recovering in a Winnipeg hospital after what police say was a self-inflicted shooting during a kidnapping incident.
RCMP were called to the community of God’s Lake Narrows on Monday around 8 a.m., in response to a reported shooting.
After the man was found with life-threatening injuries and rushed to hospital, the police investigation determined that he, along with a 28-year-old woman, had kidnapped another man at gunpoint and confined him in an outdoor location. Police say he shot himself in the process.
