Two people are facing several weapons charges after a gun was fired in Mainstream, N.B., on Monday.

The Western Valley Region RCMP responded to a report that a person had been held against their will and a weapon had been fired on Furlong Road before 11 a.m.

Before officers arrived, the RCMP says two suspects had fled the scene in a blue pickup truck. They found the truck parked in a residential driveway on Route 105 in Pembroke, N.B., a short time later.

Police arrested a 40-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman inside the garage of the home and seized a firearm.

Investigators determined the people were all known to one another and they believe the shooting was an isolated incident.

No one was injured.
