On Wednesday, September 25 at 6:28 p.m., Ahtahkakoop RCMP received a report of a firearm being discharged at a motorist.
The incident occurred approximately 5-10 minutes before, just outside of Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation.
It was reported that a driver was travelling on a grid road on the north boundary of Ahtahkakoop when they came across a black Chevrolet Equinox parked on the side of the road, looking like they were in need of assistance. The individual pulled over and approached the Equinox. The driver of the Equinox pointed a firearm at the individual and reportedly discharged it in their direction multiple times.
No injuries were reported to police.
It is believed there were three individuals inside the Chevrolet Equinox at the time of the incident: an adult male (the driver) and two adult females. The male driver may have had a tattoo above his right eye. At this time, we don’t have full descriptions of these individuals. The license plate of the Equinox may be: 642 HPR.

The vehicle should not be approached. The occupants are considered armed and dangerous. The public is asked to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to police.
