Fatal shooting in B.C. 'targeted': RCMP

One person was killed and another critically injured after what the RCMP are calling a "targeted" shooting in southeastern B.C. on Saturday morning.

One person was killed and another critically injured after what the RCMP are calling a "targeted" shooting in southeastern B.C. on Saturday morning.

The Mounties were called to a house just outside of Cranbrook, a small city located about 500 kilometres east of Vancouver in B.C.'s Kootenay region, near the B.C.-Alberta border.

Officers found one person dead and another critically injured. No names have been released.

"Not much is known at this time, but the attack appears to be targeted," Cpl. Chris Faulkner said in an interview. "When our members initially arrived, it had the markings of a home invasion, and that's why we believe it was targeted."

Faulkner said police have made no arrests.
