Four days have passed since two gunmen opened fire into a crowd of men, women, and children at the annual Africville reunion. Despite ongoing investigations, no arrests have been made.
“That’s deeply concerning and troubling,” said Barbara Adams, Nova Scotia’s justice minister. “We’re relying on our police forces to do the very best that they do which is to investigate these crimes.”
Police have reported no updates on the investigation, leaving the community anxious and unsettled.
“So stunned that this happened during the Africville reunion and that to people that were just trying to reminisce, have fun, enjoy themselves, and for that to come and interrupt such a joyous occasion,” said Juanita Peters, director of Africville Museum.
The incident happened Saturday night when shots were fired, hitting five people. Among them is a teenager who is still in hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Adams said she urges anyone with information about the incident to inform police.
