Victim in hospital, suspect at large after shooting in Kamloops, B.C.
Mounties in Kamloops, B.C., are investigating an early-morning shooting that sent one person to hospital with serious injuries Thursday.
Several front-line police and canine officers responded to the reported shooting in the city centre shortly after midnight, the Kamloops RCMP said in a statement.
One male victim was found suffering from a gunshot wound in the 600 block of Seymour Street.
The victim was transported to hospital with serious injuries, 'the extent of which are unknown at this time,' police said.
A suspect has not been identified.
'Although the investigation is ongoing, current evidence suggests this incident was not random,' Staff Sgt. Kelly Butler said in the release.
The Kamloops RCMP's serious crimes and forensic identification divisions are assisting with the investigation.
'We are asking anyone who may have been witness to this incident or has video surveillance to call the Kamloops RCMP,' Butler said.
