The Toronto Star is reporting that "RCMP say the illicit drug trade could be tied to a shooting that killed one and injured two others in the Northwest Territories over the weekend. Officers were called to a home early Saturday morning in the hamlet of Fort Providence, where they found one person dead and two others injured. Mounties say one person is in serious condition and the other is in stable condition."
Cabin Radio is reporting that "In a weekend statement, Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation Chief Kele Antoine said he was sending “deepest love, prayers and strength” to the fellow Dehcho community of Fort Providence. “To our own community of Fort Simpson, let this be a hard reminder that drug activity is just as bad – if not worse – right here at home. If we don’t start standing together and pushing drug dealers out of our community, it’s only a matter of time before we face the same kind of tragedy,” Chief Antoine wrote. “Enough is enough. We must protect our community and our future.”
