Winnipeg police to provide update on Niverville, Man., shooting Wednesday
An officer-involved shooting in Niverville Wednesday morning has led to a large police presence in the community south of Winnipeg.
RCMP say one man is dead and a woman is in custody, while another man took off in a stolen vehicle and remains at large.
Winnipeg police are also in Niverville to assist RCMP, who have been at the Drovers Run scene since around 3 a.m.
RCMP in Saskatchewan have provided a description of the suspect they say fled the Niverville area.
David Burling, 29, is believed to be in the Esterhazy, Sask., area — about an hour and a half drive northwest of Virden, Man.
Winnipeg police are set to hold a press conference at 1 p.m. to update the situation.
A man who says he’s lived in community for 25 years told 680 CJOB it’s surprising to see incidents like this taking place in a once-quiet town.
“I just find it amazing that Niverville, as big as it’s getting, can go through things like this,” Robert Davey said.
“It seems like week after week and month after month, something is happening… things happen even in small towns, you know?”
