Police were called to a home in Tumbler Ridge last Monday after a report of a disturbance.
When officers arrived at the scene, they heard a gunshot from inside the residence and took action in response to the presence of a firearm.
Shortly after an adult woman came out of the house on her own accord. Moments later an adult man exited the home.
Police noticed that he appeared to be suffering from a gunshot wound. He was immediately taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries.
The parties involved are known to each other and police do not believe there to be any further risk to the public.
Tumbler Ridge RCMP say their investigation remains active and that more information may be released as it becomes available.
