Carver man faces charges after teens climbing on shed faced gunfire

What started out as some playful fun among teenage boys turned frightening late Wednesday when a west metro man who feared being burglarized fired his handgun three times into the ground, leading to charges against him.

The 34-year-old Carver man fired the gun after he saw what he thought was a stranger or strangers on the roof of his shed at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Carver County Sheriff’s Office.

The roof climber was a 16-year-old boy trying to retrieve his hat from the roof.
