by There’s still no word on any possible charges after a shooting in Membertou yesterday. Regional Police say a 16 year-old boy was shot in the leg in the incident and was transported to hospital in Halifax for treatment. The injury is not believed to be life-threatening. Police said yesterday that they were questioning a 20 year-old man in relation to the incident, and investigators were also waiting to hear from other witnesses. It’s believed that the victim knew the shooter. We’ll have more on this story as further details become available.
