RCMP have charged three people with attempted murder following a shooting in Beauval that left a 20-year-old victim with serious injuries.
According to a news release, officers responded to a home at about 11 a.m. on Saturday. They found a man with multiple gunshot wounds, who was transferred to hospital by EMS.
