A 13-year-old's drone will need some repairs after it was shot down in mid-air over his family's property in Norfolk County, police say.

OPP sayit happened at a home on Highway 59 around 7:52 p.m. Monday.

Police say that the teen was flying his drone around his family's home when it suddenly spun out of control and landed on a neighbouring property.

Police say the drone was shot down.

"I've been on the job for 20 years, and this is a first for me, where someone has actually taken a firearm and discharged it and struck an unmanned aerial system," said OPP Const. Ed Sanchuk.

"It's to the point where it's a real safety issue as well."
