RCMP searching for man believed to be armed with shotgun in Nova Scotia
Police in Nova Scotia say they are searching for a man believed to be armed following a shooting at a motel in Brookfield.
An emergency alert issued late Sunday evening said 52-year-old Darren Trevor Jackson is wanted in connection with a shooting at a motel on Highway 2, where a woman known to Jackson was injured.
The alert said Jackson is believed to be armed with a shotgun and asks people not to pick up hitchhikers.
In an interview Monday morning, RCMP Cpl. Chris Marshall said police were still searching for Jackson.
He said the incident between Jackson and the woman was not a random act and there have been no reports of any other incidents.
In an update earlier Monday on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, RCMP said investigators believe Jackson may be driving a dark 2016 GMC Sierra pickup truck possibly with the Nova Scotia licence plate GYD 193.
“The vehicle is described as a crew cab model with a cracked windshield, a grey metal tool box in the bed of the truck and an airbag and cover missing from the steering wheel,” the post said.
Jackson is described as a white man, five feet 10 inches, 205 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
Marshall said the public should call 911 if they spot the suspect.
