People getting Dirty For Animals

This time it wasn't the animals playing in the mud... or was it?

Over $1100 was raised on Saturday, as well as litter and food donations, for the Charlotte County SPCA.

The Charlotte County Offroaders hosted their first annual Mud Bog.

Big trucks from St. Stephen, St. Andrews, Saint John, and even Oromocto came to put on a dirty show for spectators and help our local shelter.

Oak Haven Man Fatally Shot Sunday

Police say a 35-year-old man from Oak Haven is dead after a fatal gunshot wound.

RCMP say they responded to a call yesterday afternoon, that a man accidently discharged a loaded rifle while climbing down from an all-terrained-vehicle, in a wooded area near St. Stephen.

The man's 7-year-old son was with him when he was shot, and ran approximately 3 kms to his grandparents home.

After calling police, the man was found deceased a short time later.

His name is not being released pending notification of the family.

An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death.
