A man is facing multiple firearm related offences after shots were fired at a residence in Torbrook, N.S., Saturday morning.
A man and woman, both from Greenwood, N.S., went to a resident to drop off food to a man who was known to them.
After the man and the women arrived at the house, a second man, also known to them, allegedly exited the home and threatened the two who brought food, before shooting at them with a shotgun.
The 46-year-old man and 37-year-old woman fled the area in their vehicle, and were not injured in the incident.
In a news release from the RCMP Sunday, police say they responded to the report at around 11:25 a.m., where they safely arrested the two men at the home.
A search warrant was executed at the residence in the afternoon, which led to officers seizing a shotgun, ammunition, and powder they believe to be cocaine.
Police have charged 27-year-old Cody Reid Palmer with:
- discharging a firearm with intent
- careless use of a firearm
- pointing a firearm
- unauthorized possession of a firearm
- possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized
- possession of a firearm contrary to probation order
- careless storage of a firearm
- uttering threats
- two counts of failure to comply with a probation order
Police say Palmer was remanded into custody, and is scheduled to appear in Digby provincial court on Monday.
The second man, a 28-year-old man from Torbrook, was later released without any charges.
Police say the investigation is ongoing with help from the RCMP Forensic Identification Services.
