One man is facing charges after an imitation firearm was discharged at a residence and in the direction of responding police officers.

Shortly before 7:00 p.m. on October 26, 2021, Police responded to the 1300 block of Avenue D North for a report of pellets being fired at a residence. Officers were in the process of locating damage from the alleged shooting when multiple pellets were then fired in their direction, narrowly missing them; taking cover, the officers determined that the shots were being fired from a second floor window of a residence on the same block.

Subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of a 57 year-old Saskatoon man and the seizure of a break action air rifle with a telescopic scope. The man is facing numerous firearms-related charges in addition to charges relating to assault with a weapon and mischief. There were no injuries reported as a result of this occurrence.
