Two people have been charged following a firearm incident that led to an emergency alert in southeastern New Brunswick.
Mounties said they were called to a report of a shooting in Salisbury on the evening of Sept. 16.
A 48-year-old man was transported to the hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Two youths were located and arrested in the community later the same evening. One was released from custody on conditions while the other was remanded on unrelated matters.
Investigators asked for help to identify three more people who were believed to be involved in the incident.
Police arrested a 19-year-old man in Waterloo, Ont., on Wednesday. He has since been transported back to New Brunswick and charged with discharge of a firearm with intent.
A 15-year-old boy who was previously arrested appeared in court on Oct. 2 and was charged with discharge of a firearm. Both were remanded into custody and will return to court at later dates.
A female youth was arrested in Moncton on Sept. 27 while a male youth was arrested in Colpitts Settlement on Sept. 16. Both were later released on conditions.
Police are still trying to locate a fifth individual, 18-year-old Olivia Cotton from Moncton.
She is described as being approximately 5’6″ tall, weighing about 97 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair.
They are also still searching for a silver 2023 Ford F150 pickup truck involved in the incident. At the time, it was described as being mud-covered with possible Nova Scotia licence plate HDC 958.
