RCMP investigating drive-by shooting at home in Riverview, N.B.

New Brunswick RCMP are investigating after a drive-by shooting at a home on Wilson Road in Riverview, N.B., on Wednesday evening.

Police told Global News they were called to the scene shortly after 8 p.m. following a report of shots fired at a home.

Four people were inside the home at the time of the shooting, but there were no injuries as a result of the incident, according to police.

A 17-year-old boy from Moncton has since been taken to hospital over concerns for his well-being.

Alicia Fearon, who lives a couple of homes away from the incident, says she witnessed the shooting.

“We were sitting here last night and we heard loud music so we looked out the window and we saw a vehicle pull up to our neighbour’s house,” she says. “They shot at the house numerous times.”

But while Fearon says it’s troubling to witness the incident, it’s not overly surprising.

“(Greater) ​Moncton’s different now,” she says. “As alarming as it is, it’s equally not surprising. It’s troubling to know that it’s happening in Riverview, but Moncton’s not the same… at all.”

“I heard several gunshots, probably about half a dozen in rapid succession,” says Riaz Akhtar, who lives next door. “About 10 minutes later, the police arrived.”

Police tape surrounded the home on Thursday morning, and several holes could be seen in the front window of the home.

Cpl. Valerie Cyr confirmed to Global News they were called to the same house shortly after 1:30 p.m., but declined to say what that call was for, simply indicating that it “might be related” to the shooting.

An RCMP forensic identification unit was also at the scene.

The teen remains in police custody at this time, and the Mounties say their investigation is ongoing.

For Kayla Bernard, a neighbour who’s moving out of town soon for other reasons, says it’s concerning how close to home this incident was.

“It’s definitely scary, especially with having kids and knowing that this is going on which is (why I’m) glad we’re moving back to the country,” Bernard says. “It seems like it’s a lot more happening around here lately, the Moncton-Riverview area, so we’ll be glad to get out of here.”

Cyr says they can’t comment on if drugs were involved as the investigation continues.

No charges have been laid against the boy as of Thursday evening, according to Cyr, but that’s likely to change as the investigation continues.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Codiac Regional RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
