On November 11, 2025, at approximately 10:45 am, Treherne RCMP received a report of a male suffering from a gunshot wound at his residence on Road 53 North in the RM of Victoria.
Officers immediately responded and when they arrived were told by a resident that a male had been taken by EMS in stable condition to hospital with a wound on his arm. The 66-year-old victim was released from hospital later that day.
Police were informed that an errant round fired by a group of young hunters, two males, and one female, had struck the victim while he was outside.
RCMP approached the teens that were in a field, and arrested all three, the female aged 14, and the two males aged 16 and 17 without incident.
All teens were charged and released for a future court date with the following:
- Careless use of a firearm
- Discharge firearm while being reckless
- Assault with a weapon
The female and the 16-year-old male also have an additional charge of unauthorized possession of a firearm.
Treherne RCMP continue to investigate.
