One person was arrested for assault following a firearms incident last week Friday in Roseau River First Nation.
According to Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS), officers were called to a report of a man threatening to shoot at a home. While responding to that call, a report came in of gun shots coming from a moving vehicle.
MFNPS, with the help of outside law enforcement agencies, found the suspect vehicle at a local home and contained the area, and the occupants peacefully surrendered to authorities.
After searching the vehicle and the home, police found and seized a machete, replica firearm and a crossbow. Further investigation, however, could not confirm that a firearm had been discharged.
The man was later released on conditions and a future court date.
