CARROT RIVER, Sask. — A 19-year-old man is facing a charge of attempted murder after two Mounties were shot at while responding to a call on a reserve northeast of Saskatoon.
RCMP have also charged Davis Demery Lester Whitehead with intent to endanger a life by discharging a firearm, possession of a firearm while prohibited and three counts of breaching probation.
The charges come after a gunshot shattered the windshield of a police vehicle while officers were patrolling the Red Earth First Nation early Tuesday.
The officers shot back and a standoff followed that lasted for several hours until four men surrendered to police.
Mounties say the other three men have been released without charges.
