A 16-year-old from the Stoney Nakoda First Nation is facing 14 charges in connection to the shooting of a tourist on an Alberta highway.

It's been 11 days since a German tourist was shot in the head while driving on an Alberta highway with his family and as of Monday night, the man "shows symptoms of severe and life-changing injuries," a family spokesperson said.

Police say a German tourist shot in the head on a rural Alberta highway will likely have lasting effects from the penetrating brain injury he sustained.
