The RCMP continue to investigate a shooting on the Beardy’s/Okemasis First Nation.
Officers were called to an assault complaint on the reserve on Saturday afternoon.
The dispute escalated, with one shot being fired from a rifle.
The RCMP say no one was injured as a result of the gunfire.
Officers say residents of the home were able to remove the rifle from the suspect’s possession before the RCMP arrived.
A 29-year-old man from the reserve was taken into custody and a 29-year-old woman, also from the community, was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Hilary Gamble is facing numerous charges including attempted murder, assault, uttering threats and weapons-related offences.
He is appearing in a Saskatoon court today.
