A 38-year-old Saint John man has been charged with attempted murder after a firearm incident at a Moncton residence on Oct. 30, 2026, according to the RCMP. Police said Shawn Chevarie appeared in Moncton Provincial Court later that day.
Codiac Regional RCMP officers responded to a reported disturbance at a residence on McLaughlin Drive at approximately 6:56 a.m. Because firearms had been reported, officers contained the area and surrounded the residence, police said.
Several specialized RCMP units attended, including the New Brunswick RCMP Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services and the Codiac Vulnerable Persons Unit. Codiac’s General Investigations Section and Crime Reduction Unit also attended, along with Forensic Identification Services and the RCMP Remotely Piloted Aerial System.
