Police investigating pellet gun shooting at Kingston mall

Kingston police are looking for two suspects who allegedly shot someone with a BB gun at a Kingston mall.

Police say the incident happened March 16, at 1:30 p.m., when two male suspects shot another person multiples times with a pellet gun.

Before the shooting, police say, words were exchanged between the suspects and the victim at the southwest doors of the Cataraqui Centre.

“The suspects then followed the victim into the parking lot and confronted him when they were near the library. One suspect drew a pellet handgun and the victim was shot multiple times,” police said.

Kingston police did not respond to a request for further information.

The suspects are still at large, and Kingston police are asking for the public’s assistance to help identify them.

The suspects are described as Caucasian males, between 16 to 18 years old, and approximately five-feet-nine-inches tall with thin builds.
