They say they didn’t find anyone with injuries and are looking to determine whether there is any connection to an early morning shooting Dec. 30.

Security has been scaled up as the search continues for a pair of suspects wanted in connection with the shooting.
Geoff Sandfly, band manager at Big Island Lake Cree Nation, has said he knew the man who was killed and noted it’s left his community stressed.
