RCMP has laid charges in connection with a homicide in Flin Flon after a large-scale search for a suspect that lasted for much of New Year’s Day.
Officers responded to two shootings early Saturday morning within an hour of each other, one outside a community hall in Creighton, Saskatchewan just after midnight, and one in Flin Flon at a residence on Bellevue Avenue just after 1 a.m.
A 24-year-old man was shot in Creighton and taken to hospital in stable condition, while in Flin Flon, a 47-year-old man and 26-year-old woman were shot, with the woman dying from her injuries.
