Mounties in northern British Columbia are investigating after one person was found dead and another was found suffering from gunshot wounds in what police believe was a targeted incident early Tuesday morning.
Police located the victims after front-line officers were called to a residence in the 1900 block of Spruce Street in Prince George at around 3:30 a.m., according to a release from the local RCMP detachment.
“Multiple people in the residence were detained during the investigation and were subsequently released without charge,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, spokesperson for the Prince George RCMP, in the release.
“Police believe this to be a targeted event with no increased risk to the general public,” she added.
One other person has since been arrested in connection with the investigation, however no charges have been approved and the investigation is ongoing, the release said.
Investigators are asking anyone with information related to the incident to contact the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300.
