For Immediate Release

Weapons/Drug Offence – Arrest: C19-98346

During the early afternoon of May 6, 2019, two officers with the Major Crimes Unit attended a residence in the 300 block of McGee Street to follow-up a report of a window that had been shot out.

At approximately 1:05 p.m., while investigating the shooting, the officers noticed a residence in the 300 block of Agnes Street with a door that appeared to have been forced open, along with two males in front of the house.

As officers exited their vehicle, one male immediately ran. A short foot pursuit ensued during which time the male produced a loaded sawed-off rifle and threw it into the rear yard of a residence on St. Matthews Avenue.
