RCMP investigating after air soft-style weapon fired at Stephenville Fire Department, hitting two members

Three people have been arrested after shots were fired at the Stephenville Fire Department on June 3.

An airsoft-style rifle was fired at two Stephenville Fire Department members, hitting one on the head.

The department advised police that a number of male suspects in a black Honda Civic had shot an air soft style or BB gun at two firefighters who were outside the Fire Station.

Police officers located the vehicle a short time later and arrested three male suspects. Three airsoft guns were also located and seized from the vehicle.

The suspects are charged with assault with a weapon, pointing a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The investigation continues, with further charges possible.
