Man dies in shooting at N.B. border

Traffic attempting to cross the Canada-United States border at Woodstock, N.B., was rerouted briefly on Thursday morning following a shooting.

The RCMP said they responded to the shooting at the Woodstock border crossing at approximately 9 a.m.

A car bearing Texas licence plates attempted to cross into Canada when Canadian border officials directed it to drive slightly ahead for a secondary search, said RCMP Sgt. Dave Vautour.

The car drove forward and came to a complete stop and then a shot was heard, Vautour said.

The driver, a 52-year-old man from Spring, Texas, was found dead in the vehicle, Vautour said. He was the lone occupant in the car.

Foul play is not suspected in the incident, Vautour said
