A 25-year-old man from Central West River, N.S., was arrested by the afternoon, but police were unable to locate the other two suspects.

In a news release Thursday, however, RCMP said the two suspects — a 26-year-old man from New Glasgow, N.S., and a 31-year-old man from Thorburn, N.S. — had turned themselves in on Jan. 7.

All three men have been released from custody and face charges of attempted murder, careless use of a firearm and breach of probation.
