A five-year-old boy is recovering in hospital after being hit by a bullet in a shooting at a home on the Lac La Ronge First Nation.
At around 9:15 p.m. Friday, La Ronge RCMP officers were called to a house in the northern Saskatchewan community for reports of gunfire.
Police found that the house had been shot at multiple times, with one of the bullets hitting an outside wall and injuring a five-year-old boy inside, an emailed RCMP news release said.
First responders did first aid on the boy, and then had him transported to the hospital.
His injuries are serious, but he is expected to survive.
Other people were inside the home at the time of the shooting, but no one else was injured.
Suspects fled the area before police arrived.
RCMP from Prince Albert are assisting with investigating the case; they’re asking anyone with information about the incident to contact La Ronge RCMP at 306-425-6730, or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or submit a tip online.
