on Highway 35 in the township of Minden, and ended around 40 kilometres away near a residence on Indian Point Road, east of the Village of Haliburton.

Jason Folz said. Images from the scene on Wednesday in Minden show the grocery store surrounded by yellow police tape.
The OPP said that there is no concern for public safety and investigators are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
