Man Charged In Shelburne Emergency Alert Incident

A man has been charged after shots were fired in Shelburne County this week.

Fifty-two year old Steven Edward Goreham of Lower Clark’s Harbour is charged with firearms-related offences.

The incident on Tuesday night triggered an emergency alert.

RCMP say around 6 p.m, shots were fired into the air at a property on Centreville South Side Road in Clark’s Harbour, after a man had a dispute with five other people.

No one was injured, and the suspect left the scene.

Around midnight, he was located at a nearby home and surrendered peacefully after a short negotiation.

The shotgun believed to have been used in the incident was located by a police dog near the scene.

Goreham will appear in Shelburne Provincial Court today.
