Three people are facing charges in a shooting that happened Thursday afternoon in downtown Halifax.

  • possessing a loaded prohibited or restricted gun
  • unauthorized possession of a gun
  • unsafely storing a gun

The 20-year-old faces additional charges of:

  • shooting a gun with intent
  • using a gun for a crime
  • pointing a gun
  • possessing a gun knowing its possession is illegal
  • possessing a gun in a vehicle
  • possessing a weapon dangerous to public peace
