PENTICTON - No one was hurt when a shotgun was fired at a Summerland home during an argument on the weekend.

RCMP say at around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, officers were called to a home on Giants Mountain Road after reports of a shot being fired.

Once on the scene, police learned a man and woman, who had gotten into an argument with the person living at the Giants Head Road residence fired a shotgun at the outside of the home, according to an RCMP media release.

No one was hurt.

"The man and woman subsequently drove out of Summerland, while a police dog services officers spotted the vehicle," RCMP media liaison officer Const. James Grandy said in the release. "With assistance from both the Penticton and Summerland RCMP, along with the police dog service officer, both the man and woman were safely taken into custody."

Grandy says a 30-year-old Summerland resident was arrested on several charges and the weapon involved in the targeted incident has yet to be located.
