Police said the victim had spotted a truck stopped at the side of a road near Cando, Sask., which located along Highway 4, south of the Battlefords. The man stopped his own vehicle, police said, and approached the truck to offer whatever assistance he could.
At that point, police said the driver of the truck got out and fired a gun at the good Samaritan, injuring him before jumping back into the vehicle and taking off.
“At the time of the incident, the truck had two male occupants. The passenger in the truck is described as tall, and he was wearing a face covering. We do not have further details about the driver at this time,” the RCMP said in a statement. “The truck was described as a dark-coloured Dodge.”
The RCMP said the victim’s injuries were not considered life threatening.
Police asked anyone with information that could help the investigation – or anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area early on Saturday morning – to get in touch with the RCMP or make a report anonymously through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.
