A man is facing firearms charges after three teenagers were allegedly shot at while driving all-terrain vehicles in the Little Dyke area of Colchester County.
Three males, aged 18, 16 and 15, had been driving their ATVs in the area when the man exited a home and fired in their direction. No one was injured in the incident.
Police secured the area around the home and spoke to the suspect over the phone, who confirmed he was the only person inside. He was asked to exit the home with his hands up, which he did before being arrested.
The suspect was held in custody overnight and appeared in Truro Provincial Court Monday, where he faces several firearms charges including discharging a firearm. Police also executed a search warrant at the home where they seized a gun and ammunition. Police say the investigation is ongoing.

A new report has found Nova Scotia has the highest tuition costs in the country, and they’re increasing at a faster rate. It warns there are many barriers that might keep some university students out of the classroom as the cost of living continues to rise. In a recent report, advocacy group Students Nova Scotia has found the average tuition for domestic undergrads in Canada has increased three per cent over the last six years, but in Nova Scotia, it has seen a 20-per cent jump from $7,718 to $9,328 over the same time period. 36.5 per cent above the national average.
Students Nova Scotia wants to see government cap tuition at a one-per cent increase instead of three. The province is currently negotiating the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with its 10 universities. The current MOU will expire in March 2024.
