Prince Albert Police Service (PAPS) reports it responded to 184 calls for service over the weekend.

While the majority of those calls involved disturbances and evictions, there were a few serious incidents.

According to a media release Monday, PAPS members are investigating an incident at a residence in the 100 Block of 11^th Street West in which a man was threatened by a male with a gun. Just before 4:30 a.m. Sunday, the resident reported a window at his residence was damaged. As he attempted to fix the window, a male approached and threatened him with a rifle.

The suspect is described as being in his early 30s and approximately 5’7” tall with a mole near his left eye. He was reportedly wearing a black toque, black bunnyhug, blue jeans, and dirty white shoes.

Another weapons complaint was dealt with Saturday night. Police responded to the 1700 Block of 12^th Avenue West around 10:20 p.m. A 23-year-old man was taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. His injuries are not life threatening.
