A late-night shooting over the weekend is now under the watchful eye of the Prince George RCMP.
On Sunday, shortly before 12:30 a.m., police were advised of a shooting that occurred on the 2000-block of Quince Street.
Officers responded to a report of a 22-year-old man, who was taken to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
“The investigation is still in its early stages, but initial findings indicated this was likely a targeted event and there is no increased risk to the general public. If anyone in the neighbourhood witnessed the event or saw something suspicious we ask that they please contact the Prince George RCMP to speak with police,” said Cst. Jenna Moore, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
The event led to UHNBC’s emergency department being placed under restricted access for a 25-minute period.
The investigation is currently with our Investigative Support Team, which is actively working to identify the outstanding suspect.
Investigators are looking for any dash camera, cell phone or video surveillance footage from the area between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., or to speak with anyone who witnessed the incident and has not already spoken with police.
They are asked to call the Prince George RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250-561-3300.
