RCMP charged five people after they were called twice on the same day to a residence in Nipawin.
RCMP say they were first called to the home on the 100 block of Seymour Street at 3:50 a.m. on May 18 for a complaint of an assault. When they arrived they found a man holding a firearm. The man discarded the firearm and went back into the home.
