Child injured by stun gun found near Labrador playground
RCMP say the child suffered minor injuries after finding a brass-knuckle-shaped stun gun, and investigators have asked the public for information.
- On Tuesday, a child found a stun gun across from the Ford Street playground along Campbell Street in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and accidentally shocked themselves, the RCMP reported.
- Shaped like brass knuckles with sharp metal prongs, the rechargeable device was made of plastic and metal and easily purchased online, according to Jesse Donaghey.
- Labrador District RCMP Insp Danny Williams said officers seized and disposed of the stun gun after patrolling the area, though they located no other weapons.
- The child suffered minor injuries and did not require medical attention, Donaghey confirmed, noting the victim had become curious about the unfamiliar device.
- Williams called the discovery 'very concerning' and urged parents to remain vigilant while police continue investigating the weapon's origin and ask anyone with information to come forward.
