RCMP have arrested three Onion Lake Cree Nation men as suspects in a shooting on the First Nation Dec. 6.
Police say they have arrested Damian Kiefer Dillon, 21, Jesse Eric Dillon, 24, and Terrance Charles Stonechild, 27, after a 24-year-old woman suffered a gunshot wound to the head. All three remain in custody and are to appear in Lloydminster Provincial Court Thursday, Dec. 31. RCMP are thanking the public for their assistance in the matter.
The day of the shooting, the injured woman was transported to the Lloydminster Hospital and later airlifted to Saskatoon's Royal University Hospital with what were reported to be serious injuries. Police say the victim has since been released from the hospital and is recovering from her injuries.
Onion Lake RCMP say the individuals they have arrested had left the scene of the shooting prior to police arrival.
North Battleford General Investigation Section, assisting with the investigation, identified the three men wanted for attempted murder, aggravated assault and commission of an offence for criminal organization. All are Criminal Code offences.
