Shawn Chevarie, 38, of Saint John has been charged with attempted murder following a firearm incident at a Moncton residence, the RCMP said. Officers with the Codiac Regional RCMP were called to the home on McLaughlin Drive at about 6:56 a.m. on October 30, 2026, after a disturbance was reported.
Police said they contained the area and surrounded the residence because firearms had been reported. Chevarie later surrendered to officers without incident. No one was injured. Police searched and seized a number of firearms, ammunition and other weapons.
Several specialized RCMP resources attended the scene, including the New Brunswick RCMP’s Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services. Codiac’s Vulnerable Persons Unit, General Investigations Section and Crime Reduction Unit also attended, along with Forensic Identification Services and the RCMP remotely piloted aerial system.
