RCMP say a complaint of shots fired at a house in Battleford overnight does not appear to be a random incident. A suspect has been apprehended, but no name has been released yet.
On Aug. 26 at 2:27 a.m., Battlefords RCMP received a call of shots fired at a residence in the 200 block of 15th Street in Battleford.
RCMP attended and located the residence. Several appeared to be from damage from a firearm discharge. There were no injuries to the residents reported to police.
Other RCMP members on patrol located a vehicle close to the scene of the shooting. Members attempted to stop the vehicle and the vehicle refused to stop.
After a short pursuit the vehicle was disabled with a spike belt and the driver was taken into custody.
