Police have arrested a 27-year-old man after a shooting at a home on Ross Street late last week.
Flin Flon RCMP announced May 7 that they had arrested a man, identified by police as David Anthony Benjamin Ross, on charges relating to the incident. Ross faces one charge of attempted murder and several firearms-related charges that have not been confirmed by police. Ross has been remanded into custody - his first court date is unknown.
Shortly before 10 p.m. May 4, police were called to a home on the street after neighbours heard shots fired, not far from Ruth Betts Community School. At the home, a 23-year-old woman was found inside injured with what RCMP have described as "life-threatening injuries". The woman was transported to hospital in Winnipeg. After the 23-year-old woman was found, a second update to RCMP revealed a second victim, a 28-year-old man. Neither victim has been identified by police.
As of May 7, both victims are in hospital as a result of their injuries and now in stable condition.
Flin Flon RCMP, working with RCMP Major Crime Services, are still investigating the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact Flin Flon RCMP at (204) 687-1422, contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or manitobacrimestoppers.com, or to contact a local RCMP detachment.
