St. Paul RCMP advise the public not to approach Tyre Youngchief as he is believed to be armed and dangerous.

One person has been charged and one is wanted by St. Paul RCMP after a shooting incident in Saddle Lake late last week.

On Dec. 12, at roughly mid-afternoon, St. Paul RCMP responded to a call on Saddle Lake First Nation where a male had sprayed bear spray into a home. Two victims were in the residence at that time and police were unable to locate the suspect, RCMP said. This investigation is still on-going.

However, later that night, RCMP responded to a second call at the same residence where gunshots had been exchanged between the homeowner and a vehicle containing the believed suspect from the earlier event.

One passenger in the vehicle sustained a minor injury to the head but declined medical attention, RCMP said.
