Police say the man fled the area on foot before officers arrived. The area was searched and officers were unable to locate the suspect.
According to the police, with enough warning, an emergency warning was issued about an hour later warning the public to be on the lookout for a “dangerous man” with a firearm.

Campbell is due to appear in Dartmouth provincial court on Thursday to face charges of:
