RCMP: KIMMIRUT, Nunavut

Mounties Dept: KIMMIRUT, Nunavut - An RCMP superintendent says a tiny Baffin Island hamlet is "under siege" after Mounties in the community faced gunfire yet again Saturday, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Another officer was called over and they took her to the detachment, but while they were there, they say a man fired multiple rounds at the detachment and a police truck and the late RCMP Const. Douglas Scott, was shot and killed in 2007 after responding to an impaired driving complaint in Kimmirut, Nunavut. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO, RCMP Police say the latest incident in Kimmirut started in the overnight hours when an intoxicated female banged on the door of an officer's home, claiming she was in danger.
