Gun scare at SMU dorm

No charges will be laid after a photo of a man holding a realistic-looking paintball gun prompted a partial evacuation of a St. Mary’s university dorm.

Security staff were shown a photo Friday evening which was posted on social media . Police found the student and quickly determined it was a paintball gun, not an assault rifle. Police say no charges will be laid but also pointed out people should not post photos of themselves on social media with guns that look real.

Pin found in Clementine in Digby

An investigation is underway after a rusted straight pin was allegedly found in a clementine in Digby.

Cindy Wright says she bought the oranges at the Atlantic Superstore. Her husband was pulling the clementine apart and eating the slices when he felt something hard, but he wasn’t hurt.  The company contacted RCMP.
