His uncle, George
Megeney, said the
family was informed
of the incident
around 10 a.m.
today. Cpl. Megeney
went to Afghanistan
in the fall as a
volunteer with the
Nova Scotia
Highlanders Militia.
He was apparently in
his tent when he was
shot, his sister
Lisa said from the
Stellarton home of
her parents, Dexter
and Karen Megeney.
"It was friendly
fire, that’s all I
know," she said
through tears.
