Police said they found an interaction occurred between a man in a parking lot outside a community facility and a person in the dark green Jeep. The person in the Jeep discharged a firearm injuring the man, police said, before driving away. The injured man then left in a tan-coloured Jeep, they said.
RCMP said a short time later another interaction occurred between the occupants of the two Jeeps in a business parking lot along Highway 4 where a firearm was discharged from the tan-coloured Jeep. Both Jeeps again drove away.
The injured man from the tan-coloured Jeep was taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life threatening and later released from hospital, and a man and a woman were arrested on outstanding warrants from Battlefords RCMP.
Battlefords RCMP said no charges have been laid in relation to the investigation into the Jeeps but they are working to locate the occupants of the green Jeep because they believe a second person may have been injured and want to confirm their wellbeing.
Anyone who has information about the green Jeep, or about someone who was injured on the evening of Nov. 5, is asked to call Battlefords RCMP at 310-RCMP, their local police service or to inform Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at saskcrimestoppers.com.
