17-year-old charged with attempted murder in Thunder Bay shooting

A 17-year-old is facing multiple charges after a shooting in Thunder Bay earlier this month.

The Thunder Bay Police Service says officers were called to the Vale Crescent area around 10:45 p.m. on February 2, where they found an injured person who was taken to hospital for treatment.

The investigation was later taken over by the Major Crime Unit, which identified a suspect.

Police say the youth was arrested on February 5 in the Dawson Road area with help from several specialized units.

The teen is charged with attempted murder using a firearm, two counts of robbery with intent, reckless discharge of a firearm, several firearm possession offences, pointing a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Police say the accused also had outstanding warrants.

The 17-year-old remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
