What started out as an alleged stabbing for Tisdale RCMP ended up as an armed standoff at Kinistin First Nation early Tuesday morning.
Authorities responded to reports of a stabbing but found an assaulted female instead. She was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
RCMP later responded to a male caller threatening to harm himself with a firearm. Police were joined by backup at a residence on the Kinistin First Nation, where they began negotiations with a man outside the house.
The incident was resolved peacefully at approximately 10:00 a.m. when three adult males and one male youth were arrested at the residence.
Two of the adult men were taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries and the youth has been released without charges. The three male adults remain in custody.
3 knives were seized as part of the investigation. No firearms were involved with the incident.
A fourth adult male was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon.
The incident is still under investigation.
Kinistin First Nation is approximately 215 km northwest of Saskatoon.
