RCMP have arrested two individuals after a report of shots fired outside a residence in the Rural Municipality of Emerson-Franklin.

On Monday, at approximately 4:05 am, RCMP officers from Morris, Emerson and St. Pierre responded to the call. It was reported that a male and female met up earlier that morning on Gosselin Road in St. Malo. The two were in a vehicle together when another vehicle pulled up and a male armed with a firearm pointed the weapon at the male in the parked vehicle and demanded money. The male suspect then fled in his vehicle with an undisclosed amount of cash. The female in the first vehicle left shortly after in her own vehicle.

Police say the victim left the scene and contacted a friend. They both returned to the area to try and locate the male suspect and the female, but they were no longer in the area. They then headed towards the female's residence in the RM of Emerson-Franklin, and while en route they came across the suspect vehicle parked near the home. While one of the males was walking toward the suspect vehicle, a shot was fired in his direction, and he returned to his vehicle and called police.

RCMP officers immediately attended the residence in the RM of Emerson-Franklin. A male and female were arrested without incident and two firearms were seized.

A 48-year-old female from the RM of Emerson-Franklin has been charged with robbery with a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unsafe storage of firearms and two counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm.

A 64-year-old male from the RM of East St. Paul has been charged with robbery with a firearm, two counts of discharging a firearm with intent, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, two counts of unsafe storage of firearms and two counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm.

Both individuals were remanded in custody.

The investigation is ongoing.
