    LA RONGE, Sask. — Mounties say a five-year-old child was wounded after several gunshots were fired at a house in northern Saskatchewan.


    RCMP were called Sunday night to a home on the Lac La Ronge Indian Band.


    Officers say a bullet went through a wall of the home and hit the child inside.


    There were other people in the house at the time, but they did not report injuries.


    The child was taken to hospital with what was described as a serious but non-life threatening injury.


    RCMP say the suspects in the shooting fled the scene and officers continue to investigate.
