Police have arrested a man after two searches were conducted this morning in Halifax in connection with a shooting on September 21, 2013.
At 9:12 p.m. on September 21, officers responded to multiple reports of shots fired in the Jarvis Lane area of Mulgrave Park in Halifax. During the search of the area, several shell casings and bullet fragments were found. No victims were located and no suspects were taken into custody at the time.

Both searches were conducted at approximately 4:50 a.m.
