A 25-year-old man from South Indian Lake was shot after four people ambushed him at an apartment in northern Manitoba, and police are looking for four suspects who are considered armed and dangerous, RCMP say.
Mounties started investigating after getting a report that a man had arrived at the hospital in Thompson, Man., with a gunshot wound, police said in a news release Tuesday. The 25-year-old was in stable condition.
Then at 6:15 a.m. Saturday, RCMP received a report of a gunshot in an apartment building on Ashberry Place in Thompson.

Police believe the attack was targeted.
RCMP have issued arrest warrants for Gage Hornan, 33, Dallas Spence, 30, Edward Francois, 26, and Archie Spence, 19, who have been charged with discharging a firearm with intent, careless use of a firearm, aggravated assault and numerous other firearm-related offences.
