Police shooting near Winnipeg leaves one dead, one under arrest and one at large

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Jun, 2024 01:33 PM
  • Police shooting near Winnipeg leaves one dead, one under arrest and one at large

A man is dead, a woman is in custody and police are hunting for another man after a shooting south of Winnipeg.

Winnipeg police say they were alerted by RCMP early this morning about a stolen truck believed to be occupied by people with guns, heading toward the city.

Police say a chase ensued, lasting about one hour, into the city and back out again.

They say the stolen vehicle rammed a police cruiser, officers fired, and the suspects fled.

They say officers caught up to the truck, managed to arrest a woman who tried to flee on foot, and found a man in the car who had been shot and later died.

One man got into another vehicle and fled, and RCMP in Saskatchewan say the suspect — 29-year-old David Burling — was last seen driving on a highway near Esterhazy.

Students in Niverville, Manitoba, schools were told they would be spending recess and lunch indoors as a precaution as the investigation continues.

Richmond seeks federal funding to house refugees crowding homeless shelters
The City of Richmond in British Columbia is urging the federal government to provide more temporary housing for refugees and asylum seekers or pay for the use of city shelters, with the newcomers taking up about a third of all beds at one shelter last year. Coun. Carol Day, whose motion proposing the request was passed unanimously by the council on Monday, says local residents experiencing homelessness have been denied shelter spaces because of the phenomenon.
