Five people arrested after shots fired in Williams Lake

The Williams Lake RCMP received a shots fired call Monday evening coming from a residence in the 1900 block of South Lakeside Drive.

When officers arrived, they attended and set up containment in the area with support from the dog service team.

According to police, verbal callouts were made and four people came out and taken into custody without incident.
