A 17-year-old boy is dead after a shooting in Meadow Lake Sunday morning.

CKOM reported the boy’s identity as Kegan McCallum after speaking with family members Monday. 

RCMP said officers were called to a local residence at approximately 10:30 a.m. where they found the injured male victim suffering suspected gunshot wounds. He was taken to hospital by paramedics, police said, and was pronounced deceased upon arrival. 

Police initially only said a “serious incident” had occurred, and advised the public they were looking for a male suspect who was considered armed and dangerous. The suspect has still not been located, police said, and should not be approached.
