New Brunswick RCMP have laid 10 charges in relation to last month’s shooting in Moncton.

On the morning of Jan. 29, police found a 44-year-old man with a gunshot wound on Lutz Street in the city.

“Police administered life-saving first aid to the man, and he was transported to hospital with serious life-threatening injuries,” read the release on Wednesday.
