A 28-year-old Thompson man narrowly avoided serious injury after being shot at last Sunday  morning.

The man was  walking down Princeton Drive around 7:45 am when two men exited a taxi nearby.

As the man crossed the street, one of the men began yelling at him to stop and they then ran after him.

The victim took off running as well and when he turned to see where the suspects were, he noticed one off them carrying a handgun and then heard a shot fired.

The victim, who had not been hit, continued running away from the scene until he could no longer see the suspects.

In reviewing surveillance camera footage from the area, officers identified the suspect who was armed with the firearm. Both suspects have yet to be located.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Thompson RCMP at 204-677-6909  or make a secure tip online at manitobacrimestoppers.com.

Thompson RCMP continue to investigate.
