HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR –
RCMP say a child was hurt after finding a stun gun across the street from a playground in central Labrador this week.
Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey says a guardian told police the child was curious about the device and managed to activate it, which caused a shock.
O’Donaghey says the child in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, N.L., was not seriously injured and did not require medical attention.
The stun gun was shaped like brass knuckles, with sharp metal prongs along one side to conduct electricity.
O’Donaghey says he hadn’t seen such a device before and discovered they are easily purchased online.
Police don’t know why the stun gun was there and they’re asking anyone with information to come forward.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 22, 2026.
