python attack

More than two dozen exotic animals are being removed from a pet store in Campbellton where two boys were killed by an African rock python earlier this week.

Nearly one thousand people from Campbellton, New Brunswick and neighboring Quebec gathered in the early evening Wednesday for a candlelight vigil in memory of 6-year-old Connor and 4-year-old Noah Barthe.

The city of Campbellton, New Brunswick will hold a vigil this evening for two young boys who are believed to have been killed by a python.

**Funeral services for Connor and Noah Barthe will be held at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Campbellton on Saturday at 4:00 pm. Deputy Mayor Ian Comeau said because the boys were always inseparable, "The wish of the mother is that they be both buried together in the same casket."
