1 in hospital after shooting in West Kelowna

West Kelowna RCMP are appealing to the public to submit dashcam video after a shooting that left one person in hospital.

Mounties were called to the scene at 11:45 p.m. Friday evening for reports of a shooting on the 3200 block of Boucherie Road, West Kelowna RCMP said in a statement Saturday.

“Police officers arrived on scene and found one injured person,” Sgt. Judith Bertrand, media relations officer for West Kelowna RCMP, said in the news release.

“The person was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.”

While investigating the shooting, RCMP received another report of a vehicle fire near Lenz Road in West Kelowna, about a nine-minute drive from the scene. Officers arrived on scene and found a black Dodge Durango engulfed in flames, the statement said.

“Based on the short time delay between the two incidents and the totality of the evidence at the scene, the incidents are believed to be related,” Bertrand said.

Presumably a targeted event, Bertrand added that there is “no risk to the general public.”

West Kelowna RCMP are asking the public to view the dashcam video taken between 11:45 p.m. and 12:15 p.m. on Friday in the areas of Rose Meadow Road, Bartley Road, Lenz Road or East Boundary Road. Anyone with a recording of a black Dodge Durango is asked to contact the West Kelowna RCMP.

The West Kelowna General Investigation Department took charge of both related investigations.
