Two men face charges after shooting in Saskatchewan

Two Edmonton men have been charged and another suspect is on the run after a shooting in Saskatchewan ended in a cross-border police chase.

Pierceland RCMP rushed to the scene at around 1:30 a.m. where a man and a woman had been shot on the Big Island Cree Territory in Saskatchewan on Tuesday.

Soon after, officers caught up with a suspect vehicle in Cold Lake, across the Alberta border, about 60 kilometres east of where the shooting occurred.

When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the suspect vehicle fled with police in pursuit down Township Road 630 back over the Saskatchewan border.

The vehicle then lost control, crashing in a ditch.

Three suspects ran from the crash and RCMP officers were able to arrest two of them. A third suspect remained at large Friday.

Adam Mohamed Elmi, 20, of Edmonton faces nearly a dozen charges, including two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of using a firearm in the commission of an offence and for fleeing police.

Amin Ali Yussuf, 26, also from Edmonton, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm while prohibited, unauthorized possession of a firearm and operating a motor vehicle while being pursued by police.

Both suspects were being held in custody.

Yussuf was expected to appear in Meadow Lake provincial court on June 27 while Elmi was expected to appear on July 4.

Both shooting victims were treated in hospital. The female victim has since been released, while the male victim remained in hospital Friday suffering from serious injuries.
