WEYBURN — Saskatchewan authorities are asking for the public’s help after a dangerous firearm incident on May 2 led to a horse being shot near Weyburn.
At around 2 p.m., a resident working in his yard in the Rural Municipality of Weyburn, roughly nine kilometres south of the Weyburn Golf Course on Range Road 2142, heard gunshots coming from the north, according to the SaskTip social media post made on June 11.
Shortly after, a dark-coloured truck travelling south stopped near the resident’s driveway and discharged a small-calibre firearm within 90 metres of the home. The shot was fired onto land the suspect did not have legal access to hunt on.
A horse was struck near where the farmer was working. The vehicle then sped away southbound.
The witness described the suspect vehicle as a black or dark blue 1990s Chevrolet truck.
Anyone with information about the incident or who may recognize the vehicle is asked to call the TIPP line at 1-800-667-7561. Tips may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 through the SaskTIP Reward Program, and all reports will remain confidential.
