MEADOW LAKE - RCMP Major Crime Unit Â鶹ÊÓƵ is investigating after a firearms-related incident at Lions Park campground in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan yesterday afternoon.
At 2:44 p.m. August 30, Meadow Lake RCMP received multiple reports of a firearm discharged at the Lions Park campground.
A 34-year-old female from Flying Dust First Nation was located deceased outside a camper trailer in the campground area.
A 34-year-old male from Thunderchild First Nation was located deceased by apparent suicide inside the same camper trailer when police arrived.
Initial investigation has determined this is considered a homicide-suicide that is domestic in nature. Autopsies will take place this week in Saskatoon.
An adult female known to the deceased individuals was also injured during this incident. She was transported to hospital for treatment of what was described as a minor injury and has since been released.
Investigators have since determined at 2:10 p.m. August 30, Meadow Lake RCMP received a request for a wellness check on the same 34-year-old female from an individual concerned about her. Police officers were making inquiries related to this request when the separate complaints of the firearm discharged were reported.
The RCMP Major Crime Unit Â鶹ÊÓƵ will be investigating the circumstances of the deaths, in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Coroners Service, Meadow Lake RCMP and North Battleford Forensic Identification Services.
Police are not seeking additional suspects in regards to this incident and we do not anticipate having further updates related to the investigation as no charges will be laid.
