Few details about what happened were released. On Monday morning at around 10:20 a.m. RCMP received reports of shots being fired at a local business, prompting them to ask people in the area to remain in their homes or businesses.

They said they believed the suspect or suspects are in a stolen pickup truck.

Before arrests were made, the RCMP said anyone who sees the vehicle should call 911 and not approach the vehicle or suspects.
