The two 15-year-olds suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Police said in a Tuesday release that one victim had an apparent gunshot wound and was taken to hospital, while the other was treated at the scene and released.

The suspect was arrested at around 2 a.m. the same morning.

“Investigators have since learned that the shooting occurred over an argument the three youths were having,” read the release.

The 17-year-old is facing 10 charges related to firearms, assault and an attempt to commit murder.

He is set to appear in Halifax Provincial Court on Nov. 3.
