Members of the SPS Guns and Gangs Unit have charged two teens Friday night following a firearms incident.

At approximately 9:30 p.m., March 10, 2023, members of Patrol were dispatched to an elementary school in the 200 block of Sumner Crescent. It was reported to Police that a group of people had been shot at near a school. Upon arrival, officers located two individuals walking through a park, one of which was holding a shotgun. Both individuals were taken into custody without incident. A sawed-off shotgun, ammunition and an airsoft gun were located at the scene and seized by Police.

Following the investigation, it appears that two separate parties had agreed on a prearranged altercation. When they met, a foot chase ensued and a firearm was discharged but no one was injured. The party believed to be responsible for discharging the firearm, is also said to have threatened someone with a gun.

Two males, ages 17 and 15 are facing 17 firearms-related offences including Discharge Firearm With Intent. The 17-year-old was also charged for breaching his probation.
