Suspects Found, Shelter-in-Place Ends in Atikokan
The Ontario Provincial Police located two armed suspects after a nearly 30-hour shelter-in-place following gunshots that resulted in one death, officials said.
- In an early-Friday news release, the OPP announced the manhunt in Atikokan had ended, with no threat to public safety.
- After reports of gunshots on Wednesday shortly after 7 p.m., responding officers said investigators deemed masked suspects armed and dangerous, prompting a shelter advisory in the Don Park area, Atikokan.
- Investigators located the first suspect deceased Thursday evening, and the second was taken into custody shortly after, with officers finding the deceased person at the scene.
- Residents endured almost 30 hours of a shelter-in-place while police searched for suspects, and Atikokan Mayor Rob Ferguson described closed schools and businesses and said residents felt an `eerie feeling`.
- Authorities asked anyone with information to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, and an increased police presence remains. Ferguson said there was an "eerie feeling" in Atikokan on Thursday.
