A Mountain View County man accused of walking near a school in Sundre, Alta., with a loaded shotgun last year, has now been sentenced on a second charge, resulting in a 360-day jail term.

Jason Kelly Burns, 34, pleaded guilty in Calgary Court of Justice on Oct. 21, 2026, to one count of unauthorized possession of firearm. He was also given a 10-year firearm prohibition.

Burns was previously sentenced on July 8, 2026, following a trial in Didsbury Court of Justice, to 15 days in jail, as well as 12 months of probation after his release, for a charge of threats causing bodily harm/death.

Charges of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, possession of a controlled substance, two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, and trafficking a controlled substance were withdrawn on Oct. 21, 2026.

It was on Sept. 26, 2025, at 7:28 a.m., when Sundre RCMP responded to a 911 call reporting a man with a 12-gauge shotgun in the vicinity of a school. As a precaution, area schools were placed in lockdown and a shelter-in-place alert was issued to the community.

Officers from Sundre, Didsbury and Olds detachments, along with Police Dog Services, were called in to assist. A tip led RCMP to a residence on 4 Street, where police set up containment and attempted to locate the suspect.

At around 9:15 a.m., the suspect exited the home and surrendered to police without incident.

A search warrant was later executed at the residence, resulting in the seizure of four firearms stored in a safe, one unsecured loaded shotgun, drug trafficking paraphernalia and methamphetamine.

At the time, Burns was charged with assault, two counts of uttering threats, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
