It’s something a community like Kindersley, Saskatchewan doesn’t experience, after shots were allegedly fired at a local resident on Saturday night.

One of the people involved in the incident says he is disappointed with the police response so far. The 47-year-old-Kindersley resident says he got a call Saturday night around 7:45 p.m. from his 20-year-old son who rents a house from him in Kindersley saying he’d been attacked with a baseball bat.

He says he picked up his son to take him to the hospital and as they drove down the service road, his son pointed to a parking lot of a local motel, saying he spotted those involved, so his dad pulled in to get some answers. The Kindersley father, who remains unnamed as he fears he and his son will be targeted, says a woman jumped on his back when he insisted he was going to the police.

“I had no weapon, I was by myself with my son in the vehicle, he didn’t get out. A female then came out of the hotel and started yelling at me ‘your son did this and your son did that’. I said, you can’t go into people’s yards and assault them with a baseball bat. My son didn’t do anything wrong except attempt to protect your children and then to protect his property after they threatened him.”

After he threw her off he alleges multiple people tried to accost him when he attempted to get in his vehicle and that’s when he heard a “bang” and looked up to see a man standing pointing a handgun at his vehicle.

The RCMP searched his vehicle and returned it, saying they couldn’t find a bullet. The Kindersley man contends that one of his employees found the bullet so now he knows it was a .22 pistol.

“The RCMP then show up at this place on Monday to perform a search of the parking lot. Not a warrant of the property, not to serve a warrant, not to search for firearms…to look in the parking lot for shell casings. The police gave these criminals, in my opinion at this time, over 30 hours to clean up the scene.”

The RCMP released information saying there was an altercation with a group of individuals, a firearm was discharged striking a vehicle and a woman was arrested at the scene, but charges have not yet been laid.

The long time Kindersley resident says the incident as well as the ensuing chain of events is all on security video from the house and from surrounding businesses.
