Hay River RCMP responded to two shootings over the Remembrance Day long weekend, and are asking residents for security or doorbell camera footage to assist with identifying the suspect.
A house on Pine Crescent was set on fire and a man had been shot with non-life-threatening injuries on Saturday, November 9. The suspect had fled the scene upon police arrival.
Two days later, the detachment received another call about shots being fired in a residence in the Rowe’s Trailer Court. No injuries were reported, but suspects had once again fled in a vehicle.
“Both of these incidents are believed to be linked to the drug trade and organized crime,” police say in a news release. “No arrests have been made at this time.”
Residents in these areas are asked to check footage during these times:
- Pine Crescent and Balsam Drive on November 9, between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
- Rowe’s Trailer Court and Stewart Drive on November 11, between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
