The RCMP have arrested a suspect in last night’s shooting in Yarmouth County.
Corporal Jennifer Clarke tells Acadia News Yarmouth Rural RCMP responded to a call at 7:30 in Hebron about a 34-year-old man who said he had been shot.
She says the suspect fled a house after the shooting and the victim was transported to hospital with serious injuries.
“Our focus since last evening has been responding to this incident and locating the suspect. Shortly after 9.a.m the suspect was arrested at a home on the Main Shore Road.”
The RCMP’s Emergency Response Team was deployed.
Both the Greenville and Main Shore Roads remain cordoned off while evidence is gathered and witnesses interviewed.
Clarke would give no other details about what took place last night but said more information could be released later today.
She said this was not a random act as both parties were known to each another.
Sources told Acadia News last night that the victim had crashed his truck after being shot and ran into a nearby house where the homeowners called 911.
A damaged truck could be seen off the Greenville Road where RCMP had closed off the area.
We were also told he was flown to hospital in Kentville by EHS Lifeflight.
