On June 21, 2026, at approximately 9:35 p.m., Melville RCMP received a report of an assault at a residence in Melville on 8th Avenue West.

As officers arrived at the scene, a firearm was discharged, and two Melville RCMP officers were struck. Both officers were transported to hospital by EMS with injuries described as serious in nature.

The armed individual – believed to be an adult male – remained in the residence.

Officers from Melville Detachment and Saskatchewan RCMP’s Critical Incident Response Team responded immediately. This includes the Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services and the Crisis Negotiation Team. Officers with the Serious Crimes Unit were also engaged.

The Government of Saskatchewan’s Protection and Response Team assisted, along with Regina Police Service’s SWAT officers.

Saskatchewan RCMP carefully monitored this situation, which included continual assessment as to whether a dangerous person alert was required. Ultimately, an alert was not issued as the suspect was contained to a residence and officers determined there was no elevated risk to public safety.

At approximately 2:00 a.m., the suspect and another occupant exited the residence. The suspect was arrested and remains in custody. The other occupant was initially detained but released shortly after. The second occupant has since been cleared of any involvement.

Saskatchewan RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit (SCU) has carriage of this ongoing investigation. Charges have not been laid. As such, we are unable to provide any additional information about the individuals arrested at this time.

Investigators do not believe there is any further elevated risk to public safety associated with this incident.

Further updates will be provided as they become available. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact 310-RCMP (7267).
