On October 21, RCMP officers executed a search warrant at a residence in Saddle Lake First Nation, where they discovered an unregistered firearm in the possession of a male without a license.

Later on, October 21, shortly before 4:30 p.m., St. Paul RCMP responded to a collision involving a pedestrian at the intersection of 50 Avenue and 44 Street in St. Paul.  

A female pedestrian was struck by a vehicle and transported to the hospital for treatment of her injuries. RCMP are continuing their investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
