At 3:44 a.m., a First Nation Safety Officer contacted the RCMP to report that an assault had occurred about 30 minutes earlier in Hollow Water First Nation. The suspect had fled the scene, and Emergency Medical Services were requested.

Then, at 5:53 a.m., the RCMP received a second call regarding a possible stabbing incident in the same community.

Multiple RCMP detachments were dispatched and responded immediately. Upon arriving, officers found several individuals with stab wounds. They were also informed of a second location within the community where more victims were found.

In total, eight people from the community, aged between 18 and 60, were injured. Tragically, 18-year-old Marina Simard died from her wounds.

The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Tyrone Simard from Hollow Water First Nation, fled in a stolen vehicle after the attacks. The vehicle was later spotted near Black River First Nation, heading south on Provincial Road 304.

At 6:53 a.m., Simard crashed into a northbound RCMP vehicle responding to the incident. He died at the scene from his injuries. The RCMP officer involved was taken to hospital in critical but stable condition.

Provincial Road 304 has been closed in both directions south of Black River First Nation due to the fatal crash.

The investigation is ongoing, with Powerview RCMP working alongside RCMP Major Crime Services, Forensic Identification Services, and a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist.
