An emergency alert has gone out in Saskatchewan with Maidstone RCMP saying they are investigating a report of shots fired in the RM of Britannia.

Officers said the shots came from a black, newer model Mustang, the same vehicle suspected in a shots-fired incident in Lloydminster.

Police believe this is not connected with the James Smith Cree Nation investigation.
