Husband tackles suspect who assaulted wife, pointed gun at her: RCMP
RCMP says the 66-year-old suspect was taken to hospital for monitoring before being arrested and taken into custody following his release.
A man is facing multiple charges after allegedly entering a home in Souris, Manitoba, assaulting a woman, and pointing a rifle at her. The incident occurred on August 27. Upon arriving at the scene, Blue Hills RCMP responded to a report of an armed individual who had broken into the residence and threatened the female occupant. The woman's husband answered the door and, upon learning the man's intentions, intervened.
He reportedly tackled the suspect, wrestled the firearm away from him, and held him until police arrived at the scene. The victims were not seriously injured. The suspect, a 66-year-old man from Souris, was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for monitoring before being formally arrested the following morning. He was subsequently released on a release order after being charged with various offenses, including two counts of pointing a firearm, two counts of assault with a weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, break and enter, and resisting a peace officer. The RCMP seized the firearm used in the incident.
