Saskatoon 13-year-old pleads guilty for role in fatal 2024 shooting of 12-year-old friend
A 13-year-old Saskatoon boy involved in the fatal shooting of his 12-year-old friend in 2024 has pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death. It happened in a house on Matheson Drive on Feb. 19, 2024, when three boys, two 12 and one 13, were drinking vodka and passing around a loaded sawed-off .22 rifle. The gun went off, killing one of the 12-year-olds. The two other boys were charged with manslaughter, but the surviving 12-year-old pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death last year and was sentenced to stay in custody for 16 months, followed by eight months of intense supervision in the community and then 12 months probation. The 13-year-old is scheduled to be back in court in July for sentencing. "Nobody wanted this to happen. There was no plan, it was kids making poor decisions, playing with something they shouldn't be playing with and it went off and killed somebody," Blaine Beaven, the boy's lawyer, said Monday in an interview. "Obviously they're playing with a gun, they never should be, children never should be playing with a gun and people who are intoxicated should never be using firearms. And one of them ended up getting shot." An agreed statement of facts was presented at the 12-year-old's sentencing. It said the boys were in a bedroom inside of the house on Matheson Drive. They had bear spray and a sawed-off rifle. All three were posing, taking photographs and videos with the firearm in an effort to appear as though they were gangsters. "As a part of the investigation, officers seized cellphones belonging to [the boys]. [Saskatoon police] analyzed the phone data that was extracted from the cellphones. Upon review of the videos and photographs taken from that night, you see [the boys] had been drinking from a 26 oz bottle of Absolut vodka over a period of approximately three to three-and-a-half hours," it said. "During this time you see [the boys] take turns pointing the firearm and bear spray at one another. [The 13-year-old] is seen unloading and loading ammunition into the firearm."

13-year-old girl caught using vape laced with anaesthetic outside State Courts
SINGAPORE: A 13-year-old girl is assisting with investigations after she was spotted using an e-vaporiser that was laced with an anaesthetic outside the State Courts, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said on Tuesday (May 13). HSA was alerted to the case on Apr 24 after the girl had "behaved erratically" while vaping in public outside the courts in Chinatown. "She was unsteady in gait and appeared to be oblivious of her surroundings; a sign of possible drug intoxication," said the authority. Officers from HSA identified the 13-year-old girl and raided her residence, seizing a vape that has been tested to contain etomidate. Etomidate is a medicinal ingredient used in clinical practice as an anaesthetic agent. It should only be administered under medical supervision. Adverse effects of etomidate include nausea and vomiting, muscle spasms, changes to breathing and blood pressure, as well as seizures and psychosis. HSA said it identified and caught the person who sold the vape to the 13-year-old. One vape and three pods that were seized from the seller were also found to contain etomidate. The 25-year-old seller and his 26-year-old wife are also assisting in the investigation. In a separate incident, HSA identified a 36-year-old man who was filmed vaping on an MRT train. A video of it was posted on social media on Apr 18. HSA officers raided his residence and did not find any vapes, with the man claiming he had thrown his vape away. Investigations are ongoing. The agency said that those who witness people using vapes can "voluntarily assist" HSA in its enforcement actions by submitting "clear, full-frontal photographs or videos" of offenders to hsa_trb [at] Buying, possessing and using vapes are prohibited in Singapore. This includes purchases made online and from overseas. Offenders can be fined up to S$2,000 (US$1,530). If convicted, those possessing or using vape pods containing etomidate can be jailed for up to two years, fined up to S$10,000, or both.
