Youth’s Behaviour with Pellet Pistol “Stupid, Dangerous and Outrageous”
Shooting a pellet gun at an 11-year-old boy an a bike is a “stupid, dangerous way to behave,” Judge Anthony
Palmer scolded a Colwood-are teenager in Western Communities Courthouse April 29. “ I don’t know if you’ve seen too
many movies or not,” he continued, “but anything involving a handgun is completely reprehensible.”
The 17-year-old boy was ordered to serve a 6-month period of probation, 25 hours of community work and to apologise in
person to his victim. He was also ordered not to possess weapons, ammunition or explosives for 5 year.
Crown counsel Bruce Filan told the court the young cyclist was riding an Atkins Road December 22, 1991, and noticed 3
young males sitting in a car. As he passed, he said “hi” to the group and continued on his way. Then he heard a loud
“ping” coming from the direction of the vehicle, turned around and saw one of the boys a gun in his direction and heard
two more “pings”. Filan described the boy as “very frightened”, aiming especially when the car started up and drove
towards him. Not very far from home, he raced to tell his father what had happened. The father then pursued the
teenagers in his car, forcing them to stop and answer questions.
According to Filan, police later determined the accused teenager was the only one with a weapon – an air pistol that still
had pellets in its chamber when recovered by police at the boy’s residence.
The young victim was very upset by the ordeal and is receiving counseling, Filan added.
Defence Counsel Dianne McDonald said her client was not aiming the pistol at the younger boy and had no intention of
harming him. Only two shots were fired, she insisted. When her client realised his actions had scared the boy, he tried to
apologise but was told not to contact the victim, she added.
She also explained the teenagers were not really chasing the boy in the car, but when the driver realised the boy was
scared, he tried to follow to explain no one was aiming at him.
McDonald reported her client has been doing well since the incident and he hopes to return to school in the fall. For now,
he is enrolled in correspondence classes and is seeking employment, McDonald told the court.
