Two teenagers have been arrested and police are looking for two other people after a report of shots being fired at a man walking in the early morning hours of May 15.

Thompson RCMP were called to Moak Crescent around 2 a.m. Wednesday after a 37-year-old man said he was shot at by occupants of a vehicle driving by.

The man was not injured in the incident.

Police found and stopped the suspect vehicle, which had four people inside it. Two of the occupants fled on foot, while a 13-year-old male and a 19-year-old male, both from Thompson, were arrested. The vehicle was determined to be stolen and police are still looking for the two suspects who ran.

The 13-year-old is charged with assault with a weapon, uttering threats, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, possessing property obtained by crime and failing to comply with a probation order. The 19-year-old is charged with assault with a weapon and possessing property obtained by crime. No firearm has been located and police are still investigating.

This incident occurred shortly after a 30-year-old man reported being shot with a pellet gun on Public Road around 1:30 a.m. May 15. Police have not identified any suspects in that incident and continue to investigate.
