Girl, 17, facing firearms charges

A 17-year-old girl is facing two firearms charges after paramedics reported finding a handgun in her purse about noon yesterday at the Pagoda Hotel on Rycroft Street.

A city emergency medical services team went to the hotel in response to a "sick person" call and found the girl for whom help had been sought resting in her room.

While paramedics were attempting to identify the girl, they found the gun in her purse and called police.
