Two men face charges after a shooting early Sunday morning in Dartmouth.
On April 29 at 4:37 a.m., two HRP Patrol Officers were in the area of Roleika Drive and Caledonia Road when they heard multiple gunshots. Approximately ten minutes later, the officers, assisted by other patrol members, arrested two men walking on Roleika Drive, while a K9 team recovered a handgun nearby. Multiple bullet holes were also discovered in the rear of a residence on Roleika Drive but nobody was injured.
Twenty-seven-year-old Dale Lloyd Fowler and 24-year-old Marco Morrell Simmonds each face the following charges:
Section 86(2) CC - Unsafe Storage Contrary to Regulations Section 88 CC - Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose Section 92(1) CC - Possession of a Firearm Knowing it is Unauthorized Section 95 CC - Possession of a Restricted Firearm with Ammunition Section 244 (b) - Discharging a Firearm with Intent
Fowler faces an additional charge of possession of a weapon contrary to a prohibition order. They are both scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court today.
