A 19-year-old man is facing an attempted murder with a firearm charge, among many others, after a shoot-out with RCMP members last month.

The North Battleford and Maidstone RCMP have charged Tristan Pinder, 19. This stems from an April 13 stolen taxi incident in Regina, which sent a 34-year-old cab driver to hospital with serious injuries. Verena Petruka, 30, also faces a number of charges.
