Bell says gunshots damaged a cable and cut phone and internet service in Labrador

Gunshots damaged a fibre-optic cable in Labrador, Bell says. This cable carries phone and internet signals. On Thursday, this cut internet and cell service in the North West River area. Internet was down about five hours. Bell said service came back on Friday. Workers found more gunshot damage during the hard repair. Two schools, Lake Melville School and Sheshatshiu Innu School, sent students home early for safety. The Sheshatshiu school said people could not reach emergency services. The RCMP, Canada's national police, also think a gun was used. They are checking if a crime happened. No suspect has been named.
