Following an incident where two Saskatchewan RCMP officers were shot and transported to hospital with serious injuries, a 55-year-old man has been charged with a number of offences including attempted murder and aggravated assault.
Markus Dodge is scheduled to appear in Yorkton Provincial Court on Tuesday.
Late Sunday night, RCMP were called to a residence in Melville for a reported assault. As officers arrived at the scene, a firearm was discharged, and the two officers were struck.
Both were transported to hospital by EMS with injuries described as serious in nature. According to Monday’s update from investigators, the injured officers are in stable condition; however, their injuries are “serious and potentially life-altering in nature.”
