Nunavut RCMP are asking Cape Dorset residents for help to bring in a man who's been on the run since June, after he allegedly fired a high-powered rifle at boaters Monday. David Mikkigak, 37, has been on the land outside of the Nunavut community evading police for six weeks. On Monday, police said, there were reports Mikkigak fired shots at boaters gathering carving stone. Those deaths were followed by several more incidents, including armed standoffs in Taloyoak, Pond Inlet and Resolute Bay, in which police stressed that peaceful outcomes were not guaranteed. Anyone with information on Mikkgak can provide it anonymously to RCMP at (867) 897-1111, through Nunavut Crime stoppers at (800) 222-8477 and through social media.
