On December 6, 2023, just after 1:00 A.M., Police responded to a call of a male threatening people inside of a residence in the northside trailer park. Three adults and two children inside the residence barricaded themselves in a room for their safety stating that the male was now threatening to burn the home down.
Upon arrival, police noted flames inside the residence with the five victims still trapped inside hollering for help. Police helped the victims escape the residence through a window just before the house became fully engulfed.
The male also eventually exited the residence and was taken into custody after threatening and fighting with police.
EMS and Camrose Fire attended the scene, and the fire was contained and put out before spreading to neighbouring homes.
Katlin George Konkin (35) of Camrose has been charged with five counts of Attempted Murder, Arson, Assault with a Weapon, Assaulting a Police Officer, Assault, Uttering Threats, Resisting Arrest, and Mischief.
Konkin was brought before a Justice of the Peace and remains in custody until his next court appearance.
