Two people are charged with attempted murder after an assault, a stabbing, and a shooting in Paq’tnkek First Nation near Antigonish.
It was on Thursday, July 23, at around 4 p.m. when RCMP officers responded to a report of a fight on Petow Loop Exit. When they arrived, investigators found that a 38-year-old woman armed with a knife had attacked a 50-year-old woman who was walking along the road.
The woman who was walking was able to get ahold of the knife and stabbed her attacker, but she was then hit with what officers say was a “blunt object” by a different woman.
A short time later, RCMP says they believe a man, 38, shot the woman who was originally attacked.
The woman who was stabbed and the woman who was shot were both taken to hospital by EHS with non-life-threatening injuries.
The 38-year-old woman and 38-year-old man, were charged with attempted murder, and a 40-year-old woman was charged with assault.
Officers are asking anyone with information or videos of the incident to reach out as the investigation is ongoing.
