Police in Manitoba say they’re searching for the shooter in a targeted double homicide that left a corner of cottage country on Lake Winnipeg shaken on Friday.
Manitoba RCMP received reports of gunshots on Hampton Road in the Sandy Bay cottage area of the rural municipality of Victoria Beach, about 100 kilometres north of Winnipeg, around 2 a.m., they said.
Officers found a Winnipeg man, 29, and a Victoria Beach woman, 41, dead.
Police say someone they describe as a person of interest took off from the scene in a white truck and travelled south down Highway 59 before officers arrived.
“Everybody is pretty alarmed,” Alain Landry, who has lived in the area for five years and been coming to the community for three decades, told CBC News on Friday afternoon.
