SALMON ARM - Police in Salmon Arm are investigating a shooting incident that took place over the weekend.
Around 3 a.m. Sunday, Salmon Arm RCMP were dispatched to the area of 16 Street SE, Auto Road SE, and 11 Avenue SE, Cpl. Dan Moskaluk says in a media release.
A number of people called police to say they heard gunshots in the area, Moskaluk says.
“RCMP officers attended to the area and determined that there had been a firearm discharged in the direction of a parked vehicle, a nearby garage and fence,” Moskaluk says.
The location of the incident was a property in the 1700 block of 11 Avenue SE.
“Witnesses reported hearing a vehicle speeding away after the shots were heard,” Moskaluk says.
Investigators believe this was a targeted event and have spoken to all the tenants of the building and confirmed no one was injured, he says.
