On November 16, 2024, at approximately 6:15 am, Thompson RCMP received a report of a gunshot being heard in an apartment complex located on Ashberry Place in Thompson.
Officers had already responded to the hospital on a report of a 25-year-old male, from South Indian Lake, arriving at the hospital suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He was last reported to be in stable condition in hospital.
The investigation into this shooting has determined that four suspects, known to police, entered onto the property, one armed with a shotgun, and waited for the victim to exit his apartment when the shotgun was discharged, hitting the victim. The four suspects then fled the scene.
Investigators believe this to be a targeted attack.
RCMP have charged Gage Hornan, 33, Dallas Spence, 30, Edward Francois, 26, and Archie Spence, 19, with Discharge Firearm with Intent, Careless Use of a Firearm, Aggravated Assault and numerous other firearm-related offences.
Warrants of Arrest have been issued for each of the four suspects.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of these four suspects is asked to call the Thompson RCMP at 204-677-6909/6911, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or submit a secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com
