Around 5:50 a.m. on Monday, The Pas RCMP got a report of shots fired at a home located on Hone Street in The Pas, according to Manitoba RCMP.
When police got to the scene, they were told that the home had been struck multiple times by gunfire and that shots had entered the home, but no one inside was injured.
Witnesses in the area also reported seeing two males, dressed all in black, running from the scene to a black Dodge Ram pickup truck, described as being a 2015-2019 model.
Later that day, at 4:25 p.m., the Opaskwayak Cree Nation Detachment of the Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS), got a call about a 35-year-old Flin Flon man who reported being robbed and shot. The victim was transported to hospital where he remains in stable condition, police said.
The suspect(s) fled the scene in a black Dodge Ram truck, according to police, and RCMP believe the incidents are related.
“The incidents are not believed to be random in nature, and the suspects and victims are possibly known to each other,” police said.
The Pas RCMP continue to investigate the shootings, and anyone with information is asked to call The Pas RCMP at 204-627-6204, MFNPS OCN Detachment at 204-623-8201, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or submit a secure tip online at crimestoppers.com.
