The man accused of attempted murder, after allegedly shooting at police back in October, made another court appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Monday.

The case involving 32-year-old Jirard Saddleback of Calgary has been adjourned until the new year.

Saddleback was remanded by consent and will stay in custody until the next court date of January 10, 2023.

He's facing charges of attempted murder, possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of the proceeds of crime as well as several other firearm and weapon-related charges.

On Friday, October 21, 2022, the Moose Jaw Police Service was investigating firearms at a house on the 800 block of Fourth Avenue Northwest. An individual, believed to be Saddleback, left the residence and fired a handgun at police before fleeing the scene. 

At around 9:50 p.m. that same night, more gunshots were reported around the 300 block of Ross Street West. Saddleback was arrested as a result. He was also wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for being unlawfully at large out of Calgary.
