Saskatchewan RCMP say four deaths on the Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation are considered suspicious.
RCMP say officers responded to a report of deaths on the reserve, located about 80 kilometres east of Regina, at 11:15 a.m. CST on Tuesday. They found four people dead in a home.
“This is an unfolding investigation and we are unable to provide further details about the deceased persons at this time. We’ll do so once we are able to, and we’ve confirmed that next of kin notifications are complete,” an RCMP news release said.
RCMP say the deaths are considered suspicious and the major crimes unit will be leading the investigation.
“There will be a continued increased police presence on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation,” the release said.
Then, at 3:15 p.m. CST on Tuesday, RCMP got multiple reports of a man pointing a gun at people on Zagime Anishinabek, formerly known as the Sakimay First Nation, located about 130 kilometres east of Regina.
RCMP say they don’t know whether the two incidents are related.
The release said there will be police presence on Zagime Anishinabek as the investigations continue. People are asked to avoid areas where officers are present.
RCMP say they will inform the public of any known safety risks.
