Two people were arrested last night after a firearm was discharged injuring a man.
On February 8, 2023 at around 10:45 p.m., police were called to the 500 block of 20th Street West for a report of an injured person. Officers arrived to find a 28-year-old man with a non-life-threatening injury consistent with a gunshot wound. Continued investigation led police to an apartment unit in the 1700 block of 20th Street West where two suspects were located; a sawed-off rifle and ammunition was located on their persons.
As a result, a 20-year-old Saskatoon man is facing several firearms-related charges in addition to aggravated assault. An 18-year-old Saskatoon woman also faces several firearms-related charges in addition to unlawful possession of a controlled substance. She was later charged with assaulting a police officer while being processed in Detention; the officer did not sustain any serious injuries as a result.
