A La Ronge man is facing charges for a reported shooting that happened over the weekend. According to RCMP, it happened Saturday at around 11 a.m. when a vehicle approached a home on Cook Crescent in La Ronge.

After investigating, Mounties arrested a 36-year-old man at the home. They also say they found and seized a gun near the property.
