REGINA -- A 15-year-old boy in Regina faces numerous gun-related charges after police say another, younger boy was likely shot.

Police say they were called about a firearms offence on Saturday afternoon, and when they arrived they say they found a 12-year-old boy with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

He was rushed to hospital but police say his injuries aren't considered life-threatening.

The older boy has been charged with careless use or storage of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a prohibited weapon and breach of an undertaking.

He can't be named due to his age and will appear in court Monday morning.

Police are not saying what type of gun was involved.
