Regina police charge 22-year-old man with attempted murder

Regina police have charged a 22-year-old man with attempted murder after a 48-year-old woman was found with a gunshot wound  in a north Regina home on Sunday.

Police are not identifying the man because it may identify the victim, but said the alleged shooting event was a domestic one, and it doesn’t “pose an elevated risk to the other residents in the area.”

The incident happened on Sunday in the city’s Lakeridge area.

Police were called to a home on the 5200 block of Boswell Cres. just after 12:15  p.m. for a report of an injured woman. When they arrived, officers found the 48-year-old woman with injuries “consistent with a firearm discharge,” police said in a release.

EMS members took her to hospital with injuries police described as “non-life threatening.”

The man will make his first appearance in provincial court Wednesday on these charges.
