Dartmouth shooting

Police aren’t releasing many details of a shooting early yesterday morning in Dartmouth. People were seen running from the scene near Tacoma Drive and Valleyfield Road after multiple gunshots were heard around 3:30.

They were gone by the time police arrived…and they didn’t find any evidence of a shooting. But then a little later, a 16 year old boy showed up at the hospital E-R with a gunshot wound to his hand.

Jail death investigation finished

The Justice Department has completed a review of the death of an inmate at the Burnside jail last year.

An autopsy showed the man died of complications from a drug overdose. He had gotten the prescription drugs from another inmate and was known to save up his drugs and take them all at one time.

Corrections Services will meet with the Health Authority to review protocols for dispensing medications. Personal and area searches are also being done.
