The Mounties have laid an attempt to commit murder charge after two teens were shot at a party in Cole Harbour over the weekend.

Police were called to Sedgemoor Court early Sunday morning where 20-30 people were gathered outside a home.

Two teens, both 15 years old, were found wounded, but the suspect had taken off.  Police say one teen was shot in the arm and the other in the leg.

Police tracked the suspect down in Dartmouth just after 2 a.m.

Investigators have since learned the shooting was spurred by an argument involving the three teens.
