The Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team is investigating after a shooting Tuesday morning where two people were injured including a police officer.

Carrot River RCMP responded to a report of a firearm being discharged on Red Earth Cree Nation at 3:40 a.m. and found two people believed involved. They were taken into custody and police also identified a third person as being involved in the incident.

RCMP say when officers located the 25-year-old man nearby, a gun was shot at the police cruisers. Officers got out and an altercation occurred between the individual and the officers which involved guns being fired. Both the 25-year-old man and one of the responding officers sustained injuries.

The man, from the Red Earth Cree Nation, was pronounced deceased by EMS, at the scene. The officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries. SIRT will investigate the Saskatchewan RCMP’s interaction with the deceased and the circumstances of his death.
