Police say presence in Fredericton’s north side unrelated to shooting

FREDERICTON — A day after a shooting incident left four people dead including two police officers, Fredericton police responded in force to another event Saturday night.

Heavily armed officers and about a dozen police vehicles encircled part of a neighbourhood on the city’s north side.

Police officials would only describe it as an active event, but stated it was not related to the shooting incident Friday.

Police brought in their armoured response vehicle and kept people away in a one block area.
