A total of four people face charges after an individual was assaulted with a firearm early Sunday morning, according to police. Shortly before 5 a.m. on Dec. 1, officers with the Regina Police Service (RPS) were dispatched to the 2200 block of Edward Street for a reported weapons offence. Police were told that the victim had been assaulted and injured by what appeared to be a gun, the service recounted in a news release Monday. Officers arrived at the scene and took four suspects into custody. A search of the suspects revealed a gun. A 27-year-old man faces the lion’s share of charges — totalling six counts. The charges include possessing a firearm, use of a firearm, failing to comply, storing a firearm or restricted weapon, uttering threats, possessing an unauthorized firearm and assault with a weapon. A 32-year-old man faces two charges, including possessing an unauthorized firearm. A 28-year-old man was solely charged with failing to comply, while a 30-year-old woman faces one charge of assault with a weapon. All four of the accused made their appearance on these charges in Regina provincial court Monday.
