PICTOU LANDING, N.S. The chief of a Nova Scotia First Nation said her small Indigenous community is reeling after shots were allegedly fired at a lobster harvester off the province s northern coast. Chief Andrea Paul of Pictou Landing First Nation said in an interview Tuesday members of the band were dealing with mixed emotions in the aftermath of Sunday s shooting. It was shocking because we know who these people are and we fish together during the season, Paul said. I was quite shocked and then I was quite angry. The chief said the man who was allegedly shot at on the waters of the Northumberland Strait is Garry Denny, a member of the Pictou Landing community. Paul took to Facebook Tuesday to say non-Indigenous fishers had not objected when her community announced in September it would be fishing for lobster.
PICTOU LANDING, N.S. The RCMP say they have arrested four men in connection with shots allegedly fired Sunday on the waters off the Pictou Landing First Nation. Officers said they responded to a call of gunfire in the Northumberland Strait near the First Nation at around 5:30 p.m. yesterday. After arriving at the scene, RCMP said they learned a man from the Indigenous band had seen crew members on a fishing vessel removing lobster traps from the water. The police said in a news release that the man was approaching in a small boat when the fishing vessel accelerated towards him and shots were fired. The man was uninjured and was able to return to port.
