No injuries have been reported but at least one bullet pierced the wall of a neighbouring home, Prince George RCMP said, when an exchange of gunfire broke out late Saturday night in Central Fort George.
RCMP, who were called to the scene at 11:15 p.m., said it appears the exchange occurred between the occupants of a 500-block Alward Street home and of a vehicle described as a dark-coloured sedan.
Those involved had fled before RCMP arrived and while a police dog picked up a scent for several blocks, no one was apprehended. However, a firearm was found near the home.
Two adult residents of the home have been spoken to but remain out of custody.
"Investigators believe this incident was targeted and not a random act," RCMP said. "The investigation is continuing."
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca (English only).
You do not have to reveal your identity to Crime Stoppers. If you provide information that leads to an arrest, you could be eligible for a cash reward.
