Police Officer's Fiancee Whose Home Was Shot At Speaks Out
Sarah Taylor tells CHSJ News it's frustrating because Major Crime told them in June of last year they had enough evidence to lay charges but since then there has been nothing and no explanation as to why.
She says 8 shots were fired at the house and then a car with a loud muffler raced away.
That car was seen by police at the Reversing Falls Bridge and then chased down Douglas Avenue before it crashed at the corner of Adelaide and Victoria Street.
Taylor says those inside the car fled on foot but cellphones were left inside the car which could be used as evidence.
She adds a gun was thrown out of the car during that pursuit.

It all began when police got a call from Snacks Convenience that a man armed with a shotgun was walking along King Street West threatening to shoot police.

No Support For Saint John Having Two M-P's
Under proposed changes, part of Quispamsis, which is now in the Saint John riding, would become part of Fundy Royal along with the rest of the Valley.
Mr. Justice Alex Deschenes says the proposed change to the Fredericton riding, on the other hand, has generated alot of controversy and the Commission got quite an earful.
Saint John would still have the most people of any riding in the province even with losing part of it to Fundy Royal but Deschenes says there's doesn't seem to be a groundswell of support for Saint John to be represented by two M-P's in Ottawa.
Public Concerns Halt Potential Apartment Buildings
Multiple residents voiced their concerns about losing privacy, increased traffic, and noise if the area changed from residential to multiple residential.
Ray McCaskill lives across from the proposed location. He tells CHSJ news they're not against growth, just not in that area on Hampton Road. He says a lot of people moved in that area because it was residential and adding the apartment buildings would turn it more commercial.
Quispamsis Council listened to both the developer, Murray Thompson Homes, and residents. Mayor Murray Driscoll says at the end of the day most of council felt it wasn't fit for the property, with three Councillors for and five against.
The developer wouldn't comment.
