The RCMP say a 60-year-old man is in custody after four targeted shootings on Monday that left two men and two women dead in Penticton, B.C.
Charges are pending and De Jager says the suspect and the four victims knew each other.
They asked the public to follow the direction of police and to avoid specific areas, but later lifted those restrictions. "I understand that this is a deeply troubling incident that has taken place in our community," he said. Joyce Brennan, a downtown resident, said she was taking out the recycling sometime between 9:30 and 10 a.m. when she heard the sound of three muffled bangs in the distance.
Three or four officers with rifles and a police dog charged down a nearby side street, while other police officers stayed behind and taped off the area, Halvorson said. About 45 minutes later, he heard a sound of "anguish," and his wife looked out the window and saw an older woman hugging someone, Kenward added.
