Southey RCMP are investigating two deceased men in a rural area near Earl Gray.
Mounties were called out Sunday at about 7:40 a.m. for a gun complaint.
That morning a family member was at the home and saw a man drive into the year and go in the house. The family member heard loud noises and entered the home. He found his family member with a serious wound and called 911. RCMP contained the scene and the Emergency Response Team (ERT) was deployed from Cowessess First Nation.
