PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP say there was a shooting incident today in one of the cells at their detachment on Victoria Street.

It all started when police responded to a report of a theft near 15th Avenue and Victoria Street this morning. Cpl. Jennifer Cooper says police located the suspect a short distance away and arrested the man, who was found to be in possession of a firearm and had an outstanding warrant. He was then taken to the RCMP detachment a short distance away.

“While being booked in, a physical altercation occurred during which bear spray was discharged and a police officer discharged their service pistol,” she says. “One police officer received minor injuries and the suspect was also injured in the altercation and received medical attention for those injuries.”
