A man suffered serious injuries after a shooting in Prince Albert on Sunday afternoon, leading to a high-risk police operation and the arrest of four people.

Prince Albert Police Service officers were called to the 800 block of 13th Street West at about 1:30 p.m. on July 12 for a weapons complaint. Upon arrival, officers found a 38-year-old man with injuries consistent with a gunshot wound.

The victim was taken to hospital by Parkland Ambulance for treatment. Police said his injuries are serious but not considered life-threatening.

Investigators later identified a residence in the 800 block of 12th Street West as a scene connected to the shooting and launched a police operation.

According to police, the incident was deemed high risk and categorized as a critical incident, prompting the deployment of specialized resources. Officers conducted a controlled surround-and-call-out at the residence, and all occupants exited voluntarily.

Police then executed a search warrant and seized a firearm, ammunition and body armour. Four people were arrested at the residence.

Kenneth McQuarrie, 25, is charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon, careless storage of a firearm, breaching firearm prohibition orders and several other breaches of court-ordered conditions. He made his first appearance in Prince Albert Provincial Court along with 20-year-old Tyrell Villeneuve who is charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon, careless storage of a firearm, breaching firearm prohibition orders and several outstanding warrants related to firearms offences.

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Prince Albert police at 306-953-4222 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
