Prince George RCMP seized a loaded handgun and arrested three people in relation to an alleged shots fired incident in the Hart early Thursday morning.
At about 3:20 a.m., RCMP received a report of multiple gunshots being heard near the corner of Highway 97 North and Shady Lane.
They came from a vehicle heading south, RCMP said, and about 10 minutes later, a suspect vehicle was located near 15th Avenue and Alward Street. A 19-year-old woman, who was the driver, and two men, ages 35 and 32 years old were arrested and, after a search warrant was obtained, the gun was found inside the vehicle, RCMP said.
The three were held in custody overnight but, as of midday Thursday, they had not been charged and their names had not been released.
"No clear target of this shooting has been located," RCMP said and added police are asking for the public's help with the investigation.
