Winnipeg police have found a missing 13-year-old girl while responding to a firearm report at a home in the city’s North End.
Officers went to the 1400 block of Alexander Avenue for a report of a man with a gun inside a residence on Monday at 3:51 a.m.
Upon arrival, they saw a man and woman leaving the house – the pair ignored police instructions but were ultimately safely taken into custody, police say.
A sawed-off .22 calibre rifle was seized during this time – the man who had it was also arrested for an unrelated carjacking back in May.
Several other people left the home and were stopped by officers, including a 20-year-old man who had been arrested for an unrelated shooting in the 400 block of Sherbrook Street last Thursday.
A 17-year-old from Winnipeg was also charged and detained.
