RCMP Member Discharged Firearm At Suspect In Dieppe Incident: Police

The Canadian Press, 07 Jan, 2019 02:21 AM

    DIEPPE, N.B. — Police say a member of the RCMP fired their gun at a suspect who they allege "took actions threatening first responders" during an incident in Dieppe, N.B., on Saturday.


    Sgt. Nick Arbour declined to say if the 25-year-old Nova Scotian woman was shot, but confirmed that she was sent to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.


    An earlier release from the RCMP alleged that the woman had fired shots at first responders while they were attending a motor vehicle crash near the Moncton airport at around 2:30 p.m.


    Arbour said charges are "anticipated."


    Ron Legere, an investigator with Nova Scotia's Serious Incident Response Team, confirmed the agency is investigating the incident.


    SIRT is responsible for investigating all serious incidents — including deaths, serious injuries and allegations of sexual assault — involving police in Nova Scotia, though they are sometimes asked to help with investigations outside the province.


    Legere also remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the case, but said more information will be released as it becomes available.


    "It's still in the early stages of the investigation," he said Sunday.
