BIG ISLAND LAKE CREE NATION, SASK. — RCMP say one person has been killed and three others have been injured in a shooting on a First Nation in western Saskatchewan.

Mounties say they are continuing to look for two suspects, who they describe as armed and dangerous.

They say officers received a report this morning about a shooting on Big Island Lake Cree Nation, about 392 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.

RCMP say officers found one person dead and three people injured, but did not have details about victims’ injuries or how many additional people required hospital treatment.

Mounties say they are working to determine whether the shooting was random or targeted.

A dangerous person alert has been issued, and RCMP are warning those in an area that stretches from Meadow Lake, Sask., to Bonnyville, Alta., to find a safe location and lock their doors.
