A 38-year-old man from Saint John, N.B., has been charged following a firearm incident in Moncton, N.B.

On October 30, 2026, at approximately 6:56 a.m., members of the Codiac Regional RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance at a residence on McLaughlin Drive in Moncton.

Due to the reported presence of firearms, officers contained the area and surrounded the residence. 

A number of RCMP Specialized Policing Units attended the scene, including the New Brunswick RCMP’s Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services, Codiac’s Vulnerable Persons Unit, Codiac’s General Investigations Section, Codiac’s Crime Reduction Unit, Forensic Identification Services, and the RCMP Remotely Piloted Aerial System.

Early in the investigation, it was determined that it was an isolated incident that did not meet the criteria for an Alert Ready.

The individual, a 38-year-old man from Saint John, subsequently surrendered to police without incident. No one was injured during the incident. Police also executed a search and seized a number of firearms, ammunition and other weapons.  

Later that day, 38-year-old Shawn Chevarie from Saint John, appeared in Moncton Provincial Court and was charged with attempted murder. He was remanded in custody and is scheduled to return to court on November 23, 2026, for a bail hearing. 

The investigation is ongoing.
