RCMP say two men entered a Louis Bull Nation residence and threatened to shoot a victim's son before fleeing on foot.
Maskwacis RCMP charged a 23-year-old man and a 17-year-old youth with firearms offences following an incident at a home on Louis Bull Nation on Aug. 6.
Police responded to a 911 call around 1:30 p.m. reporting that two male suspects had entered the residence with a gun and threatened to shoot the victim's son. The suspects fled on foot but evaded initial attempts to locate them.
The investigation led officers to a nearby residence, where both suspects were arrested without incident. A search warrant was executed at another nearby home as part of the investigation.
Both individuals face charges of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, and unauthorized possession of a firearm. The adult was remanded into custody and is due in Wetaskiwin court on Sept. 1, 2026, while the youth was released with conditions and is scheduled to appear on Sept. 2, 2026.
