On Sept. 25, at approximately 8:30 p.m. Dauphin RCMP received a report of shots fired at a strip mall in the 1300 block of Main Street South in Dauphin, Manitoba. Officers attended and began an investigation. Nobody was determined to have been injured and no buildings were damaged, but police did locate shell casings in the parking lot.
Officers are looking for a blue car, perhaps a Chevrolet Cruise or Malibu, that was at the location at the time of the shots. There were three occupants in the vehicle, and it left the parking lot heading south on Main Street.
Only a couple of hours later, at approximately 10:45 p.m., a single shot was fired at a residence on Main Street North. Adults and children were inside the home at the time of the incident. Nobody was physically injured.
When police arrived, it was noted that there were multiple bullet holes on the north side of the house. Only one shot was heard, and it appears the shot could have come from a shotgun containing buckshot ammunition.
At this time, these incidents are not believed to be related.
RCMP are looking for information on both of these incidents. If you have information, please call Dauphin RCMP at 204-622-5020, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.
