Saskatchewan RCMP say they've arrested a man who fled the scene after another man was fatally shot by police in southern Manitoba early Wednesday morning.
David Frank Burling, 29, was arrested along with woman without incident near Springside, Sask., about 25 kilometres northwest of Yorkton, around 2:30 p.m. CT, following an hours-long search for Burling.
Earlier on Wednesday, RCMP said he fled the scene were another man was declared dead following a shooting by Winnipeg police.
Manitoba RCMP said the man was declared dead at the scene in Niverville, about 20 kilometres south of Winnipeg, around 3 a.m. Wednesday.
At an early afternoon news conference, Winnipeg police said the shooting followed a pursuit that began when they got a report from RCMP of a stolen vehicle southwest of Winnipeg around 12:40 a.m.
Shortly after, a Winnipeg police patrol unit spotted the stolen truck, a black Ford F-350, near Ness Avenue and Linwood Street, in west Winnipeg.
The police service's helicopter tracked the vehicle for about an hour, before it ended up at a parking lot on College Crescent in Otterburne, in the Providence University College area, just south of Niverville.
As a police cruiser entered the lot, it was rammed by the stolen vehicle, after which there was an "engagement" in which police fired their guns, and the suspects fled the scene in the truck, Winnipeg police said.
