They were called to a home on Red Earth Cree Nation late Saturday afternoon, and found an injured man, who was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The investigation determined two suspects entered the home and a gun went off, injuring the victim.

The suspects then fled the scene.

Carrot River RCMP, the Saskatchewan RCMP Police Dog Services Critical Incident Response Team, and a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System searched the area, and a knife and firearm were found.
