Crime Stoppers: New Brunswick Man Hit by Stray Bullet While in Tent Trailer

New Brunswick Crime Stoppers and the West District RCMP, Oromocto Detachment, are looking for whoever is responsible for reckless use of a firearm which resulted in a man being shot through a camper tent wall in Geary. 

Investigators say late in the afternoon of July 25, 2015, a 39-year-old man was hit by a rifle bullet while sleeping in his tent trailer, near the Speedway 660 in Geary.

The victim sustained serious injuries to both his arms and has lost the use of both hands.

RCMP say this careless act has left the man without the ability to work and care for himself.

Investigators have learned  that a small group of people were shooting firearms near that camp site when the victim was hit. It's believed there are people in the Geary area who know who is responsible.
