Police say a four-year-old girl was shot in Norway House, just north of Lake Winnipeg, Tuesday night.
RCMP believe the girl was shot from a passing ATV as she was standing outside her house.
The girl suffered a non-life threatening gunshot wound.
RCMP were responding to calls of gunshots around 11:30 p.m. when they were told a girl was injured.
Witnesses told police two men were seen riding an ATV in the area around the time of the shooting.
While the girl was being treated for her wound, police and EMS heard more gunshots in the area.
Additional officers were called in and police were able to identify two suspects after talking with residents of the community.
A 16-year-old believed to be involved was taken into custody.
RCMP are still looking for a 19-year-old believed to be the other suspect.
