New court dates needed for pair charged with four counts of attempted murder

Jun 28, 2022 | 2:15 PM

The court process continues to move ahead for two men charged with four counts of attempted murder on O’Chiese First Nation in April 2021.

It was about 5 p.m. on April 5 of last year when RCMP in Rocky Mountain House received a complaint about a male shot in a home in the Sunchild area.

A second report of a shooting came in a half hour later at the O’Chiese Marketplace, where police said a second male had reportedly been shot.

Just before 6 p.m., a third report of a shooting at a home was received — there, two men had apparently been shot.

Residents were advised to shelter in place as RCMP searched for the suspects. Meantime, four adult male victims, 18, 19, 20 and 34, were taken to hospital.
