On June 14, 2013, shortly after 6:30am, Powerview RCMP were dispatched to a shooting incident at a rock quarry near Bissett.

RCMP learned two males had reportedly fired several shots at a quarry employee as he fled into the bush for his own safety.

Two suspects were identified that day and were arrested by RCMP members the following day. Powerview RCMP also executed two search warrants on their residences in Bissett.

RCMP report that six non-restricted firearms, along with ammunition and other related items, including a truck believed to be used in the commission of the offences, were seized.

Charged in this incident are 32-year-old Michael John Shindruk and 43-year-old Kelly-Ross Gratton of Bissett. Both are facing numerous charges including attempted murder.

Both suspects were remanded into custody and were scheduled to appear in Winnipeg court. Police say that nobody was hurt in this incident and that the victim and the two suspects are not known to each other.
