"There will be a continued police presence at the residence as officers continue to collect physical evidence and complete their investigation," Const. Chris Terleski, Vernon North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson, said in the release.
There were four people in the home who were all arrested without incident and later released. No charges have been laid.
"While the investigation is in the early stages, police believe this to be a targeted act and there is no risk to the public," Terleski said.
