Officers arrested a man at the scene and transported him to the police station.

While there, police say the suspect got into an altercation with an officer and there was a shooting.

Police say the officer and suspect were flown to a hospital in Regina with serious injuries, and the officer was recently listed in stable condition.

A family member told The Canadian Press in an online message that the suspect was the woman’s son and he also died of his injuries.
