Woman threatened with shotgun in south Winnipeg apartment complex

3:03 PM

A man was arrested Saturday after allegedly threatening a woman with a shotgun at an apartment block in Winnipeg’s Island Lakes neighbourhood.

Winnipeg Police Service patrol officers were called to the apartment on the 1500 block of Warde Avenue at about 2 a.m., where they found the woman, 24, in the building’s lobby.

She told officers she had gone to meet with a friend at a suite when an argument ensued, leading the man, who was also in the suite, to pull out the gun and threaten the woman. She wasn’t hurt.

Officers arrested a man and a woman in the suite a short time later. Investigators returned with a warrant during the day and seized a 12-gauge shotgun.

A 28-year-old man has been charged with a slew of firearms offences, one count of uttering threats and four counts of failing to comply with the conditions of a release order. The 23-year-old woman arrested was released without charges.
