A 14-year-old boy is facing firearms-related charges after an incident in northwest Regina on Tuesday.
The Regina Police Service says it got a call at 12:50 p.m., about a male who allegedly pointed a gun at another person in front of a strip mall in the 5500 block of Rochdale Boulevard. Police were told the male then put the gun in a bag and walked away.
The victim gave officers the name of the suspect as well as a detailed description of him.
“The suspect was detained and then arrested by police a short distance away, as he was entering a nearby school property,” a police media release said. “A firearm was recovered and found to be a CO2-powered BB gun.”
The teen, who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is to face charges of possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to public peace, use of a firearm in the commission of an indictable offence, pointing a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon.
He’s to appear in youth court on Feb. 20. As well, a Violent Threat Risk Assessment will be performed by a committee comprising the police, the school and other community partners to determine if further steps are required.
