HALIFAX, N.S. – Halifax police are investigating after a teen suffered a gunshot wound to the leg in the city’s north end.

Officers responded to a Creighton St. address just before 11 p.m. Sunday where they found the 17-year-old male victim. Police say they were told the teen and several other friends were sitting on the front step of the house when three men dressed in black hoodies and dark pants approached them on foot.

One of the suspects had a handgun and fired more than one round at the group before all three suspects fled the scene.

The victim was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
