Arrest Made Following Firearms Incident.

 On August 1, 2025, Manitoba First Nations Police (MFNPS) responded to a report of a male threatening to shoot at a residence in Roseau Rapids area of Roseau River First Nation.

While Police were responding to the area another call was reported of gun shots in the area from a moving vehicle, MFNPS members, assisted by outside Police agencies, contained the area after locating the suspect vehicle at a local residence. Police contacted the occupants who surrendered peacefully to Police. A machete, replica firearm and crossbow were seized after a search of the residence and vehicle. A further investigation could not confirm that a firearm was discharged.
