A man and a woman are in custody while a third suspect remains at large after a woman was assaulted in her home and a man was hit by a car.
After going outside to check on her barking dogs on the evening of July 8, a 62-year-old woman came face-to-face with the barrel of a gun.
The man holding the gun assaulted the woman while a second man and a woman went into the home where a 63-year-old man was also assaulted. The three suspects stole the homeowners’ car and were later spotted in another vehicle speeding down Kenaston Boulevard near Sterling Lyon Parkway.
The three suspects narrowly missed hitting a WFPS vehicle, then ended up hitting a man walking on Cambridge Street near Academy Road. The man suffered serious injuries. The female resident and male pedestrian were later treated in hospital.

Facing multiple charges are Nicholas Donald Harper and Susan Kitty Thompson, both of Winnipeg. The third suspect has not been found.
