Four people are facing charges in relation to a shooting where a five-year-old boy was injured in northern Saskatchewan.

La Ronge RCMP were called to reports of a gun being fired at a home multiple times in the Air Ronge area on Jan. 13.

One of the bullets penetrated the walls of the home and struck the boy in the foot inside, police said. The youth’s injuries were described as serious but non-life-threatening and he was taken hospital.

Two men were charged earlier this month with gun offences related to their alleged participation in the Jan. 13 shooting, according to RCMP.
