Separate violent attacks in Vernon, B.C., leave one dead, one injured
VERNON, B.C. – One man is dead and another has suffered non-life-threatening injuries in separate violent attacks near Vernon, B.C.
Vernon North Okanagan RCMP say the first incident occurred just before 1 a.m. when shots were fired during a targeted break-in in Lavington, about 15 kilometres east of the city.
RCMP Const. Kelly Brett says in a news release that one person in the home was injured.
About half an hour later, officers were called to a hotel to find a man with gunshot wounds, and he died a short time later.
Brett says multiple crime scenes are involved and it’s believed the break-in and fatal shooting may be related.
One man is in custody but there’s no word how that person may be connected to the attacks, although Brett says a news conference will be held later.
