It was a close call for police pursuing a stolen taxi near Delmas last week when shots fired hit the cruiser’s windshield.
Maidstone RCMP responded to the incident with the assistance of Battlefords RCMP and the local police dog services.
“There was a definite risk of injury to our members for sure. They were being shot at,” Cpl. Rob King, an RCMP spokesperson based in Regina, said. “Members were following the van and it initiated a pursuit. It goes to show sometimes the level of danger you have when you may be dealing with someone… Thankfully no one was hurt.”
He said two distinct shots hit the windshield of the police vehicle.
