Police looking for witnesses in Kelowna motel assault

KELOWNA - Police are investigating what they say was a targeted attack that occurred early this morning at a Kelowna motel.

The victim is a 38-year-old man and was treated by paramedics on scene, according to an RCMP media release. He was taken to hospital and his injuries are non life-threatening.

Officers have secured the scene and waiting for a search warrant to continue the investigation.
