The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) says multiple gun charges are being laid following a shooting in front of a school in the Massey Place neighbourhood last week.
Officers were called to a report of a shooting in the 1000 block of Northumberland Avenue at roughly 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 15.
Evidence that a gun had been fired was found, according to a press release. No injuries were reported.
SPS said the school had been placed into lockdown as a precaution and the shooting was not believed to be connected.
A 31-year-old man is facing eight charges that include assault with a weapon, use of a weapon while committing an indictable offence and possession of a firearm while prohibited from doing so.
On Monday, police said they are still searching for a second man involved in the shooting.
