There's not a lot out there on Roosevelt Rd. but its a beautiful area. Not seeing any homes or businesses. It's just a wildlife area for hiking and fishing.

OPP (Ontario Provincial Police?) says one person has been taken into custody.

Highway 11 is fully closed between Highway 64, north of Marten River, to Thibault Hill in North Bay. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes and expect delays. A significant police presence will remain in the area of Roosevelt Road as the investigation continues.

It also says there's a wildfire in the area. Kind of sounds like they're making sure there aren't other suspects up there. They're not saying much, but are still investigating.
