The victim is still recovering in hospital, according to police.
Kaden Clouston has been charged with discharge a firearm with intent, aggravated assault, careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, pointing a firearm, reckless discharge of a firearm, two counts of possession of a restricted firearm without a license, and three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm.
The 26-year-old was taken in custody following a hearing and is expected to appear in court in Okotoks via video on Friday.
