By Canadian Press on February 4, 2025.

FORT QU’APPELLE, Sask. — Police say four people have been found dead in a home on a First Nation in southern Saskatchewan.

RCMP say officers with the File Hills Police Service found the bodies after they were called this morning to the home on the Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation east of Regina.

They say an initial investigation determined the deaths to be suspicious, but they didn’t provide details about a possible suspect.

RCMP say four hours later they received reports about a man pointing a gun at people on Zagime Anishinabek, formerly known as the Sakimay First Nation, roughly 95 kilometres away.

They say it’s not known if that sighting is related to the deaths at Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation, but the public is asked to remain vigilant in the area.

RCMP say the investigation is unfolding and there will continue to be an increased police presence at Carry the Kettle.

They say they will notify the public if there is an imminent safety risk.
