This past Saturday  at approximately 7:00 pm Thompson RCMP responded to a call of gunshots outside a residence on Duke Place.

 

Officers responded immediately and, upon arrival, discovered a residence with a bullet hole through the window. The lone occupant of the residence was not injured.

 

Witnesses reported seeing a male run from the area, and officers began a search for the suspect.

 

At approximately 7:50 pm, officers responded to a second report of gunshots in the area of Brandon Crescent. Officers responded and began extensive patrols.

 

Thompson RCMP believe these two shootings were targeted, and are linked to an on-going investigation involving 21-year-old Tyrell Porter who is WANTED for multiple firearms offences from a previous shooting.

 

Porter may still be in the Thompson area. He is considered armed and dangerous. If seen, please call Thompson RCMP at 204-677-6909 Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com if you have any information on his location. Do not approach.

The investigation continues.
