Fort St John Serious Crime Unit investigating shooting and blaze

The Fort St. John RCMP Serious Crime Unit is investigating a shooting and apartment fire on the 9800 block of 103 Avenue.

Yesterday (Friday), at 1:20pm, police received a report of a shooting in front of an apartment complex, where a man in a silver two-door car allegedly shot at a black pickup truck with two occupants.

Both occupants fled to a local hospital, suffering apparent non-life-threatening injuries, and the hospital went on lockdown out of caution.

When RCMP arrived, the apartment complex was on fire, with the initial investigation suggesting that the suspect in the silver car set the fire and drove into the blaze.

He was located deceased inside the car.

Police believe this was an isolated incident with no risk to the public, and anyone with information or video of the incident is asked to contact the Fort St. John RCMP Serious Crime Unit at 250-787-8140.
