On October 22, 2025, at 10:00 pm, Cross Lake RCMP began receiving multiple reports of shots fired in the area of Egg Lake and Beardy’s Point, in Pimicikamak Cree Nation.
Officers conducted patrols throughout the community and, as they entered the area known as Beardy’s Point, another report had been received that a group of males, believed to be as many as six, were seen assaulting another male nearby and that once again, gunshots were heard.
A patrol in this area failed to locate the victim, however, four suspects matching the descriptions provided were observed walking ahead of the officers on the roadway.
The four suspects were approached and arrested without incident.
Upon their search, officers located a semi-automatic firearm, which one of the suspects attempted to hide in his clothing, a magazine, which was located in another suspects possession, additional rounds of ammunition for the firearm in a third suspects possession and a backpack containing crack cocaine and Canadian currency.
The four male suspects, one of which is 17 with the other three being 15, were taken into custody and transported back to the Cross Lake RCMP Detachment where they were subsequently remanded into custody on a number of firearm and drug-related charges.
Further investigation into the number of reported calls of shots fired led officers to discover that a pickup truck had been shot numerous times, with no reported injuries.
Cross Lake RCMP continue to investigate.
