This incident took place shortly after 4:30 PM on Thursday afternoon....not 6:30 PM as mentioned in the related release.

Two Saskatoon boys, ages 12 and 14 have been charged with numerous firearms related offences after a shooting incident in Saskatoon's Pleasant Hill neighborhood.

Just after 6:30 PM Thursday evening, police were called to a home in the 400 block Ave S South after a man reported that he had been shot at. Numerous Patrol units responded and two suspects were arrested a short distance from the scene. Two firearms were recovered by officers.

Investigators were able to determine a number of shots were fired from outside the house, with several striking the house and at least two bullets penetrating walls and travelling into the interior of the home. Despite there being two people home at the time, no one was hurt in the incident.

Detectives continue to work to establish a motive, as well as how the boys obtained the guns, both of which had been modified making them prohibited weapons. The incident is not thought to be random in nature.

Both boys will be appearing in Saskatoon Provincial Court Friday morning. Anyone with any information related to this incident is asked to contact the Saskatoon Police Service at 306-975-8300 or Saskatoon Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
