No one was hurt after a man shot a gun at RCMP officers in St. Andrews, Man. this past weekend.
Selkirk RCMP were sent to a rural house in the RM of St. Andrews Saturday at about 9:50 p.m. after someone dialed 911 and hung up. When police arrived, a man left the house, shouting at police to leave his property.
The man then went back into the house, grabbed a firearm and fired off one shot, said RCMP.
No one was hit and RCMP were able to retreat to a safer area. The man went back into home and shot his gun off a few more times in the early morning on Sunday.
RCMP gathered up their Emergency Response and the Manitoba East District Containment teams and arrested the man without any further problems. A woman inside the house was not hurt.
