2 men released after shootings in East Preston, N.S. prompted emergency alert
, N.S., Friday night prompted a direction for residents to shelter in place and an emergency alert to be issued.
In an interview Saturday, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Chris Marshall said the two men, aged 21 and 26, were arrested Friday night and later released. “Sometimes there is a difference between what we know and what we can actually prove, or if we have enough evidence to necessarily lay charges,” he said. “Public safety was the ultimate thing last night, and we have grounds to believe these guys were both involved,” said Marshall. “That being said, the investigation is still ongoing. They could still be arrested again, they could still be charged.”Emergency alert cancelled, 2 arrested after N.S.
Police responded to a shooting on Brian Street around 6:55 p.m. on Friday, where they arrested a 21-year-old man without incident. At the time, officers thought two men believed to be armed had run into a wooded area nearby.
