Dauphin RCMP officers were greeted with bullets when attempting to locate a 15-year-old, who was believed to have a firearm.
On April 20th, at 1:35 a.m., officers were driving an unmarked police vehicle and observed the youth, along with a 19-year-old male, as they exited a residence on 5th Avenue NE in Dauphin.
The police report states that the suspects were walking toward a parked vehicle, observed the unmarked police vehicle approaching and turned around to walk the other way. The suspects continued walking and then began to run.
As the unmarked vehicle approached, the 15-year-old pulled out a firearm while running and shot at the police vehicle. No injuries were reported.
The suspects fled to their residence and barricaded themselves inside.
Officers surrounded the home and provided containment until the RCMP Emergency Response Team arrived and entered the home, where five suspects were taken into custody without incident.
The scene is being held as officers draft a search warrant to enter and search the premise legally.
The suspects currently remain in police custody.
