Kamloops RCMP officers are looking for information related to an assault with a weapon report which saw one man transported to hospital yesterday.
On Friday Nov. 15, 2024, around 5 p.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers were called to the 1700-block of Parkcrest Avenue in response to a 911-call involving a person who had allegedly been shot. Police arrived on scene and located a victim nearby, who was transported to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.
According to the report, the man had been in an outbuilding at the residence when he was shot by an unknown number of suspects, who then fled through the backyard and toward the train tracks. Police officers, including the Police Dog Service Unit and the Southeast District Emergency Response Team, searched the area, but no one was located.
Although it’s still very early in the investigation, we can confirm the victim is known to police and the incident is believed to be targeted, said Superintendent Jeff Pelley, Officer in Charge of the Kamloops RCMP Detachment. Incidents of serious violence in our communities, particularly those involving firearms, are very concerning to the public and to police. We remain steadfast in our efforts to continue to advance these investigations, while at the same time suppressing and reducing such events through strategized enforcement efforts.
