Northern Alberta homeowner charged after shooting intruder
RCMP have laid charges after a home invasion in the Town of Fairview, north of Grande Prairie, led to a round of ‘shotgun justice.’
Investigators say one of the occupants of the home was being assaulted by three armed suspects, who had burst in around 10 o’clock on Thursday night.
But the tables quickly turned when the homeowner suddenly appeared with a shotgun, pulling the trigger and pumping hot lead into one of the suspects — who is now said to be in stable condition in hospital.
Meanwhile, the person who was originally assaulted in the home has since been released from hospital.
Police say Nathan McNamara, who is 31, and one of the three suspects, has been charged with break and enter and commit, along with assault with a weapon.
The homeowner, Dave Sietsma, who is 29, has been charged with discharging a weapon with intent, and two counts of possession of a weapon and ammunition while prohibited.
They’re both being held in custody and will make their first appearance on the 25th of November, in Fairview Provincial Court. (td)
