The Saskatoon Police Service says a man who was shot on Saturday will likely survive his injuries.

The shooting represents one of two weapons-related investigations stemming from the weekend, which also saw police lay charges for impaired driving after a civic crashed into a fence in Lawson Heights.

Officers were called to the 200 block of McCormack Road around 11:15 p.m. Saturday with a report of an injured person. They found a 40-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound at the scene. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries, police said.

Saskatoon police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call the non-emergency line or Crime Stoppers.

Police also had an unrelated firearm call early that morning.

Around 2:30 a.m., officers were called to the 300 block of Avenue Q South where it was reported a man brandishing a gun entered a home and got into a fight with someone inside.

Police say investigators confirmed the presence of the gun, but neither the suspect nor victim were at the scene when officers arrived. There were no injuries reported.

Just after 2 a.m. Sunday morning, patrol officers were called to the 100 block of Nokomis Crescent for a suspected impaired driving collision.

Police say a Honda Civic struck a fence and shed before the driver fled the scene on foot. Officers found the vehicle, which had sustained significant damage, abandoned in the middle of the street.

They found a man matching a description of the suspect a short distance away. The 23-year-old is charged with refusal to provide a breath sample and issued a ticket for hit and run.
