MOOSE JAW – A 17-year-old male has been arrested and charged in connection with a shooting that left one man seriously injured earlier this week.
The incident started on the morning of July 14, when Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS) officers were called to the North Service Road following reports of a weapon-related incident involving a firearm. Initial reports indicated that a male youth had allegedly shot another male before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.
When officers arrived, they found a victim suffering a gunshot wound. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provided immediate care before taking the man to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Police confirmed that the victim and suspect were known to each other.
After an extensive police operation on July 15 in the 1100 block of Willow Avenue, the suspect was arrested without further incident. The youth faces charges of attempted murder and multiple firearms-related offences. He can’t be named due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The MJPS’ Tactical Response Team (TRT), Crisis Negotiators, Criminal Investigation Section (CIS), Community Policing Division, K-9 Unit, and Remote-Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) assisted in the arrest and investigation.
Additionally, the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Moose Jaw Crime Reduction Team, Moose Jaw RCMP, and Lumsden RCMP assisted in the investigation.
