Manhunt Underway Following Deadly Shooting in Niverville

A manhunt is currently ongoing in Saskatchewan after a fatal shooting that transpired early Wednesday morning in Niverville, Manitoba. The incident involved the unfortunate death of an adult male in a confrontation with law enforcement officers. The tragic event unfolded before 3 a.m. in the vicinity of the Shell gas station and Tim Hortons restaurant located in Niverville. This occurrence has necessitated a significant police presence, leading to the closure of the area around Drovers Run in Niverville as investigators work to gather evidence and establish the facts.

At present, one female individual has been apprehended and is in custody while another male suspect managed to flee the scene in a stolen vehicle. The joint investigative efforts of Manitoba RCMP and the Winnipeg Police Service are currently focused on unraveling the details surrounding the shooting, as law enforcement personnel aim to track down the perpetrator on the run.

While the situation in Niverville remains tense and under thorough scrutiny, a separate development involving law enforcement has emerged near Highway 59 and Provincial Road 305, where a Winnipeg Police Service vehicle displaying bullet holes in its windshield is parked. Authorities have indicated that this incident is directly linked to the shooting in Niverville, extending the scope of the investigative efforts across provincial boundaries.

Adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding events, Saskatchewan RCMP are actively engaged in a manhunt to locate a suspect connected to the Niverville shooting and another unrelated incident in Winnipeg. Identified as 29-year-old David Burling, the suspect is believed to be travelling towards the Fort Qu’Appelle area, a locale approximately 75 kilometers northeast of Regina. Residents in the vicinity are advised to exercise caution, avoid picking up hitchhikers, and immediately report any suspicious activities or sightings pertaining to the ongoing investigations.
