A suspected member of the Rock Machine biker gang has been charged in connection to a police-involved shooting in Winnipeg on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old man, Ashley Sandison, had been wanted after an incident on Atlantic Avenue in the city's North End on Tuesday.
The manhunt began at about 3:30 p.m. when an officer fired his weapon while responding to a domestic dispute behind a home in the 700 block of Atlantic, near Sinclair Street.
Sandison then fled the scene in a pickup truck, ramming a police cruiser on multiple occasions, police said.
The truck was later found abandoned on Mandalay Bay in The Maples neighbourhood.
Sandison turned himself in at the Public Safety Building on Thursday afternoon.
He has been charged with several domestic related offences including failure to comply with the conditions of a recognizance, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, driving while disqualified, assaulting a peace officer (two counts) and assault with a weapon (two counts).
He is detained in custody.
Atlantic Avenue residents told CBC News on Tuesday that they heard up to four shots but police have only confirmed an officer fired at least one shot.
Police have not said what prompted the confrontation but there were no reports of injuries.
