On April 4, 2026, at 2:05 am, Norway House RCMP received a report of shots being fired from a suspect operating an ATV on Osborne Street in the community.
Officers immediately attended to the area and conducted patrols but could not locate the suspect who fled the scene.
The investigation has uncovered that a 19-year-old female had been the victim of an assault earlier that evening at a residence in the community and that a firearm had been pointed in her direction and discharged, narrowly missing her. She described the firearm as being a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun.
In the afternoon of April 4, with the assistance of the RCMP’s Emergency Response Team, a Search Warrant was drafted and executed at a residence, located on Jean Folster Drive, in the community.
Inside the home, officers located and arrested two suspects, a 21-year-old female from Thompson, and an 18-year-old male, from Kinosao Sipi Cree Nation, in relation to this incident. The sawed-off shotgun was not recovered.
RCMP have charged 21-year-old Tanis Crait with Discharge firearm while being reckless, Careless use of a firearm, Unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon and Assault. She was remanded into custody.
The 19-year-old male was released on an Undertaking for court scheduled for June 5, in the community, where he will face a charge of Assault.
Norway House RCMP continue to investigate.
