BB gun

A Yarmouth man is facing attempted murder charges after shooting another man with a BB gun.

The Yarmouth RCMP says they got a call on Saturday around 5:30 in the afternoon about a shooting in the 7700 block of Highway 308.

They say two men who know each other allegedly got into a fight outside of a home. One shot the other and then got in an SUV and drove off.

The 22-year-old was hurt and taken to hospital, police say.

On the way to the scene, responding officers saw the vehicle on Highway 308 leaving the Quinan area and managed to pull the car over in Tusket.

Two women and one man were in the vehicle. They say they arrested two, but one woman was not part of the incident and they let her go.

A 25-year-old man from Digby faces several charges, including attempted murder, assault, and uttering threats. He remains in custody and will appear in court on June 9.

And a 25-year-old woman, also from Digby, faces multiple charges, too, including assault and weapons charges.
