PRINCE GEORGE – Prince George RCMP has an attempted murder investigation on its hands.

Just before 8 o’clock last night, officers responded to a 911 report of multiple shots fired on Wiggins Place, off Moss Avenue. Multiple spent bullet casings were found on the road, but no victims.

Witnesses say they saw two dark vehicles fleeing the area following the shooting. Some 15 minutes later, RCMP was notified that a 28-year-old Prince George man was at the hospital with a single gunshot wound. The wound is not believed to be life-threatening.

At about the same time, police received a report of a vehicle fire on Moyie Street, just a few blocks from the scene of the shooting. Investigators believe that the vehicle was deliberately set on fire and is connected to the shooting.
