A Collingwood family of four that was on a walk in the Grey Highlands was allegedly threatened by someone who fired gunshots overhead on Sunday morning, according to OPP.
An individual was later arrested and charged with the careless use of a firearm, pointing a firearm and breaching firearms regulation.
Police say the family, which included two children, was on a family-owned, rural piece of land on South Line A and was reportedly threatened by a neighbouring resident, who accused them of trespassing before firing several gunshots.
