RCMP spending about nine hours on the scene of a home in Lower Norton near Hampton before the situation ended peacefully with the arrest of a 26-year-old man.
Police officers were called to the Pickwauket Road at about 1am Friday for a report of a shot fired. Constable Jullie Rogers-Marsh tells us the call was that the man had a firearm. When they arrived a woman had already escaped the house and the man was alone.
