Three men have been charged in a violent home invasion that sent a Regina man to hospital.

Police say the 35-year-old man called 911 after three men broke into his home in the 1000 block of Victoria Avenue on Wednesday morning.

The man was allegedly assaulted and threatened during the incident. He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Three men were taken into custody. Police found a pellet gun inside the home.

Jessie Manulak, 26, and Alex Hill and Nicholas Barnett, both 25, from Regina have each been charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, pointing a firearm and uttering threats. Manulak is also charged with possession of marijuana.

All three are set to make their first court appearance Thursday morning.

I feel that if certain organs were in demand, less effort would be made to revive people. Am I being silly? Not really. I had a bad experience in hospital when my heart stopped, the doctors tried to revive me and failed. They stopped and said I was gone. I came around on my own when the nurse was giving a final BP reading of 'zero'. I heard her declare me dead! It was all I could do to shake my head but they never caught on til I was able to open my eyes. You should have seen them scramble then! I thought the nurse was going to faint. The thing is, I think we may write people off too soon when there is something of value to be gained from them.
