The Indian and Métis Friendship Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, will host trick-or-treating indoors this year amid concerns about safety.
Two people were shot within a 35-minute span last Saturday. Two of the victims -- Samantha Stevenson, 13, and Tommy Beardy, 35 -- were Native. Beardy subsequently died from injuries.
"Any community, if they had three shootings… I think they would think about wanting to keep their kids safe," Nancy Flett, the center's programming director, told CBC News.
