Jeremy Kyle St Germain of Winnipeg charged with weapon offences

As previously released, on Saturday, August 7th, 2010 at approximately 5:00 a.m., Winnipeg Police Service Uniform Officers were in the area of Sherbrook Street and Ellice Avenue on an unrelated matter when they heard a gun shot. Officers observed an armed male exit an apartment building and ordered him to drop his weapon. The male complied and police determined that the male was the victim of a gun shot wound (not self-inflicted). The victim was removed to a safe location and transported to hospital by ambulance, initially in unstable condition, but was subsequently upgraded to stable condition.

Police surrounded the apartment block and additional resources were called out to assist including: Tactical Support Team, Incident Command, Street Crime Unit and Crisis Negotiation Unit.

Police were able to evacuate the building without incident and a 16 year old male was taken into custody.

The investigation by Members of the Major Crimes Unit has revealed that two males, aged 16 and 20 years who are known to one another, were in attendance inside a suite in the 400 block of Sherbrook Street when they entered into a verbal argument. Both males then armed themselves with firearms, with one male shooting the other in the upper body.

The 20 year old male who had been shot, exited the suite and was encountered by Uniform Officers outside of the apartment block. This male was taken into custody and transported to the hospital to receive treatment for his injury.

On August 19th, 2010, RCMP members located the 20 year old male in La Broquerie, Manitoba and subsequently turned him over to the Winnipeg Police Service.
