A 28 year old man is being treated in an Edmonton hospital after an incident in Saskatoon Sunday morning. Just after one o’clock, police were called to a home in Stonebridge where a man was threatening to harm himself. Officers found the man standing outside the home with gasoline and a lighter. The officers tried to intervene but the man lit the fuel and suffered life-threatening injuries before the officers could extinguish the fire. He was taken to Royal University Hospital by Medavie Health Services, and was later sent to hospital in Edmonton for burn treatment. It is believed the man was involved in an ongoing domestic dispute. No one else was hurt and no criminal charges have been laid.
