Kamloops RCMP seek witnesses to morning shooting

Published: 

A man in Kamloops was shot Sunday morning in what police describe as a "targeted" incident.

Authorities say first responders were called to the 1800 block of the East Trans Canada Highway around 8:25 a.m. for reports that someone had been struck by a vehicle.

"Further investigation revealed the victim was actually suffering from injuries consistent with gunshots," a media release from the Kamloops RCMP says, adding the victim was "known to police."

The man's injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening, according to police, who are asking anyone who was in the area at the time and has information or dashcam video to contact investigators.
