OSHAWA -- Charges have been laid against a teenager after a man was shot in the face with an air pistol Monday afternoon in an Oshawa high school parking lot.
An 18-year-old ex-student at Central Collegiate Institute on Gibb Street was driving through a parking lot with his girlfriend and infant daughter in the car when a teen pointed an Airsoft-type pistol at him and fired, Durham police Sergeant Paul McCurbin said.
A pellet struck the victim below the left eye, leaving a small cut, Sgt. McCurbin said. The victim's girlfriend and daughter were not struck.
"There's no apparent motive for the shooting," Sgt. McCurbin said.
The victim reported more shots were fired at his vehicle by another male, Sgt. McCurbin said. Officers responding to a report of an armed person collared a 16-year-old suspect and charged him with assault with a weapon.
