No charges have been laid after a gun call near a school in Prince Albert.

Police were called to a house on the 1000 block of 13 Street West around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday after a man was seen pointing a gun towards school grounds.

Officers set up a containment area for several blocks around the scene.

Three people inside the house came out peacefully, police said in a news release. They were arrested, but later released without charges.

One of the men admitted to police he was doing target practice in his backyard with a pellet gun.
