“The person reported hearing two ‘pops’ that sounded like rocks hitting the windshield, but there was no damage to any windows,” RCMP said.
The person noticed a flat tire the following day. They were unsure if it had any connection to the ongoing police investigation, but due to the timing, wanted to report it.
The SUV’s tire was examined on Sept. 15 by the Regina RCMP Forensic Identification Section.
“It was determined the tire was damaged by a gunshot,” RCMP said.
Investigators also confirmed the SUV was travelling a close distance behind the Ford Explorer, passed it and continued towards Weyburn after the incident occurred.
The driver of the SUV was unaware of the incident involving the two women in the Ford Explorer, according to RCMP and did not know the women.
