A 19-year-old man is facing several charges after two Mounties were shot at while responding to a call on a reserve northeast of Saskatoon.

It started early Tuesday when officers from Carrot River were called to the Red Earth First Nation and came across a small group of people walking along the street.

RCMP say they were shot at as they approached the group in a marked police vehicle, shattering the front windshield to shatter.

Davis Demery Lester Whitehead is set to appear in court Thursday on charges of attempted murder while using a firearm and possessing a firearm while prohibited, as well as three breaches of probation.
