Mounties responded to a report of a shooting on 8 St. West at about 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 4. Investigators say a suspect fired a gun in the direction of a residence, striking the building, two parked vehicles and a neighbouring property.

No injuries were reported.

A Saskatchewan RCMP police dog services unit searched the area and recovered a bag containing ammunition and a knife, though the suspect initially evaded police.

Officers arrested Konnor Burnouf of Meadow Lake on Sept. 5 at a residence on 7 Ave. West.

Burnouf is charged with discharging a firearm with intent, careless use of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, wearing a disguise with intent, and failing to comply with an undertaking condition. He also faces four counts of mischief under $5,000 for the damage caused to the properties and vehicles.
