N.W.T. man charged with assault after weekend incident in Fort Smith
In a news release Wednesday, RCMP said they received a report Saturday of a victim being struck with a firearm. They arrested Terron Stevens.
RCMP said no shots were reportedly fired and they're not aware of any injuries.
Stevens, 32, is charged with assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and possession of a weapon contrary to a weapons prohibition order. RCMP also said officers seized "a quantity" of cash and ammunition but the firearm was not located.
Stevens was previously convicted of two counts of assault causing bodily harm and was charged with aggravated assault and unauthorized possession of a firearm in connection to a shooting in September 2022 in Hay River. That incident, which RCMP believed to be targeted, put victim Ryley Moore in critical condition. Charges were later withdrawn after the Crown prosecutor said there was no longer a reasonable prospect of conviction due to the availability of a witness.

Family of Sask. man killed by impaired driver hosts memorial golf tournament
A year after Austin 'Auzi' Walker was killed by an impaired driver, his loved ones gathered to play a round of golf for their friend on Saturday. 'It's been phenomenal. It's a day to remember him. It's not a sad day. It's...a great way to honor him while his friends and family could come and just spend a day,' Chet Walker, Austin's father said. The Austin 'Auzi' Walker 2025 Memorial Golf Tournament brought together over 100 golfers at The Legends Golf Club in Warman, Sask. 'As a family, we decided we wanted to do something special for his name,' Chet said. 'We have 144 golfers today, which is capacity and [an] additional 50 some people coming to that barbecue.' Chet shared that golfing was a family activity and a hobby his 25-year-old son particularly enjoyed. Chet added that he hopes those in attendance take positive memories from the day. 'Be happy,' he said. 'Take one day at a time. Enjoy the day.' Austin's loved ones hope to continue keeping his memory alive, and this tournament is the first step towards that goal. 'We really want to keep his name out there. Another thing why we're doing this is, raise a little money to give back in his name for different charities,' Chet said.
