Pair charged after shootout with RCMP at Onion Lake
A traffic stop on the Onion Lake First Nation took a dangerous turn Saturday afternoon, as RCMP officers were shot at from a stopped vehicle.
Onion Lake and Turtleford RCMP members had stopped a pickup truck in connection to a stolen vehicle around noon Saturday.
RCMP said a gun was then pointed in the direction of the officers, and at least one shot was fired before the truck driver tried to get away.
The truck didn’t get far, becoming stuck in a slough closeby. Another gunshot was directed towards RCMP, and an officer returned fire.
