CALGARY -- A man and a woman are facing charges following reports of shots being fired on the Siksika First Nation.
Gleichen RCMP responded about 5:45 p.m. on Sept. 21 and an investigation revealed a man had been injured when shots were fired from a vehicle.
He was transported to hospital in serious condition, however police later clarified that his injuries were not the result of a gunshot.
As officers responded, a suspect vehicle was seen entering a driveway at a residence. Two people got out and went into the home.
