RCMP say two people from Maswacis, Alta., are facing charges after a midday firearms call on nearby Louis Bull First Nation earlier this month.

On Aug. 6, Mounties say, officers were called to the area for reports of a firearm threat.

The victim told police two male suspects entered a home with a gun, threatening to shoot their son. Police found the pair of suspects at a nearby residence after briefly escaping the scene on foot.

Police also executed a search warrant at another home in the area, ultimately finding a shotgun.

Both a 23-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy from Maskwacis are charged with offences including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

The 23-year-old was remanded into custody, while the youth was released with conditions. Both are scheduled to appear in provincial court in Wetaskiwin in early September.
