Man charged after shots fired in west London

Two days after gunshots rang out in the west-end of the city, a 62-year-old London man has been charged with more than a dozen weapons offences.

London police were called about a man firing a gun several times outside of a home on Berkshire Drive, south of Springbank Drive around 9 p.m. on Wednesday. No one was hurt and a man was arrested at the scene shortly after.

Police returned to the home the following day with a search warrant. Two rifles and one shotgun were seized.

A 62-year-old man is now charged with assault with a weapon, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon, discharging a firearm with intent to wound or endanger life, discharging a firearm in a reckless manner, and three counts of careless storage of a firearm or ammunition.

He is scheduled to appear in court in relation to the charges on June 10.
