Four people have been arrested and charged with attempted murder after police responded to complaints of shots being fired earlier this week in Barrington, N.S.

A Barrington Passage man suffered a minor gunshot wound and other injuries Feb. 13 around 10 a.m. in the area of Scotts Mill Road, RCMP said Friday in a news release.

The victim was treated in hospital and released.
