UPDATE: Charges laid in Anders shooting during break in attempt

Nov 6, 2017 | 11:10 AM

Charges have been laid following a shooting in the Anders neighbourhood nearly two months ago that sent a 23-year-old man to hospital.

The man was shot and injured on Sept. 12 after he interrupted a break in at a home on Asmundsen Avenue.

Police say the suspect was carrying a short-barrel small calibre firearm and a machete at the time of the incident. The victim suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his back and a number of cuts during a struggle with the suspect.

Darren Curtis Lagrelle, 21, now faces charges of aggravated assault, uttering threats, robbery with weapon, and breaking and entering.
