The RCMP in Thompson are investigating two different reports of gunshots that happened earlier this week.

Around 2 am Wednesday, RCMP were called to an incident where a 37-year-old man claimed he had been shot at by a vehicle driving by. He suffered no serious injuries.

Officers later stopped the suspected vehicle, 2 out of the 4 passengers got out and escaped on foot. The others, a 13-year-old and 19-year-old male were arrested.

The 13-year-old, whom police say was carrying a knife at the time of his arrest, is facing a number of charges including assault with a weapon, uttering threats, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of property obtained by crime.

The 19-year-old is facing charges of assault with a weapon and possession of property obtained by crime.

Police are still searching for the other two suspects.

Earlier that morning, police responded to a call where a 30-year-old man had been shot with a pellet gun.

No suspects have been identified and police continue to investigate.
