One man was arrested after two men were injured in an apparent shooting yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon.
Just after three o’clock Quesnel RCMP received a report of someone suffering from a gunshot wound approximately 17 kilometres up the 1600 Forest Service Road.
Police said it was later determined that two men were suffering from non-life threatening injuries and were transported to hospital.
A third man was at the Wells RCMP Detachment with the intention of turning himself in.
Police said one man was arrested and has since been released pending further investigation.
“While in the early stages of the investigation, this appears to be an isolated incident,” Quesnel Staff Sargeant Richard Weseen stated in a release, “and there is nothing to indicate any active or ongoing threat to the public.
The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been laid at this time.
Anyone with any information who has yet to speak with police is asked to contact the Quesnel RCMP.
