Two 16-year-old boys are in custody following an early morning incident in the city. 

Just before 1 am this morning, RCMP were called to a report of a disturbance and assault at a home on Dunfield Avenue. 

They located a 17-year-old male suffering from injuries consistent with having been shot with an airsoft gun. 

The victim refused medical care.

Two suspects were seen running from the home when police arrived, with one stopping as soon as he was instructed to do so. 

The other suspect, who was observed carrying what looked to be a firearm, allegedly pointed the firearm briefly at officers before attempting to take off on foot. 

He was arrested after a short foot chase. 

The suspects, who are from Dauphin and Brandon, remain in custody, as RCMP continue to investigate.
