Campbellton RCMP responded at around 2 p.m. Thursday to an altercation at a home on Saint-Maure Road.
“When police arrived, they discovered that an altercation between three people had occurred at the residence, and a firearm had been discharged at a vehicle,” said Campbellton RCMP Sgt. Francois Côté in a statement.
