A Morden teen is facing charges after injuring multiple victims with a pellet gun.

On May 25 at 9:15 pm, Morden Police were called to a business in the 100 block of 7th Street for a report of two individuals who had been shot at with an unknown object. Police spoke with the first victim who reported that he could hear objects striking the gas pumps and when he went to look, he was struck in the buttocks. The victim reported that he could see what appeared to be the barrel of a gun sticking out of an apartment window.

The second victim advised that he was also struck by an object in the leg and the hand, and while walking towards the sound, he could hear several shots going by his head. Both victims received minor injuries and did not require medical attention.

At approximately 9:46 pm members of the Morden Police Service received a report from the hospital advising that a female victim had been shot in the head and a pellet had been removed from her scalp. The female had been walking in the 100 block of 7th Street at the time of the incident. The victim was treated for her injuries and released.

Through the subsequent investigation, police were able to identify and arrest a suspect. The suspect's apartment was searched and several items, including a pellet gun, were seized.

As a result, an 18-year-old Morden resident was charged with three counts of assault with a weapon or causing bodily harm, three counts of discharging an air gun or air pistol with intent, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, three counts of careless use of a firearm, three counts of pointing a firearm and failing to comply with the conditions of an undertaking.

The 18-year-old was released on conditions and a promise to appear in Morden Provincial Court at the end of the month.
