Police are investigating a shooting that happened overnight between Thursday, Jan. 16 and Friday, Jan. 17 at a commercial building on the 1600 block of 4th Avenue.
Staff called Prince George RCMP when they arrived Friday morning and found signs of the shooting. Police were told the last person left the building at about 9 p.m. Thursday and the building was empty until 6 a.m. Friday. A truck parked nearby, one unrelated to the business, was hit by a shot during the incident, police said.
Police are investigating to determine what happened.
“We understand that it can be traumatic for victims of violent crimes such as this to process what their next steps are, and we want to remind everyone that our Victim Services unit is available to support victims of crime throughout all stages of an investigation," states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, the Prince George RCMP's media relations officer. "The more participation victims or witnesses have in an investigation, the more information we can collect and put towards a fulsome analysis of what occurred."
Police ask anyone in the area between 9 p.m. Thursday and 6 a.m. Friday who may have witnessed anything unusual in the area, which is between Victoria and Winnipeg streets, or may have dash camera or video surveillance to call the non-emergency line at 250-561-3300.
