Pimicikamak Cree Nation Chief David Monias says a shooter is still on the loose and the northern Manitoba community remains in lockdown Saturday morning after after gunshots were fired and one person died.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The shooter is still on the loose. We’re under lockdown,” Monias said in a video update posted to social media around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. <\/p>\n
RCMP confirmed to CBC News on Saturday morning that the major crimes unit is investigating a suspicious death in the community. Officials can’t provide any further details at this time, a spokesperson said. <\/p>\n
Residents of the First Nation, located about 530 kilometres north of Winnipeg, were asked to stay inside their homes and lock all doors and windows, Monias said in a separate statement posted to social media during the early morning hours.<\/a><\/p>\n Community members shouldn’t open their doors to people they don’t know and children shouldn’t be allowed to play outside or wander unsupervised, he said. <\/p>\n But some residents weren’t listening to leadership on Saturday morning. Monias said some people continued to drive around the First Nation despite the lockdown. <\/p>\n The chief reminded everyone to stay inside. <\/p>\n
