ABBOTSFORD — Police in Abbotsford say four youths have been charged after an alleged weapons-related incident at Mill Lake Park last week.

According to a statement from AbbyPD Sgt. Paul Walker, police were dispatched for a report of an incident on Friday, Oct. 3 at approximately 2:51 p.m. at Mill Lake Park. When police arrived on scene, they confirmed that a youth had suffered minor injuries after being shot with a BB gun during a disturbance involving several individuals.
