On the day following the attack – Moose Jaw police executed a search warrant at the residence of the 28-year-old accused.

In the home, officers discovered a large quantity of fentanyl and cocaine – which led to the new charges.

Following the attack, Moose Jaw police searched for the second suspect – a 29-year-old man who was considered “armed and dangerous.”

Officers found him on Sept. 17 at an east side home in the city.

The second suspect faces several firearms-related charges on top of charges for the break-in and attempted murder already laid on the duo.
