Lockdown ended, one in custody after Williams Lake shooting
WILLIAMS LAKE — The Mayor of Williams Lake has confirmed RCMP have made an arrest after an early morning shooting incident, ending a lockdown in the community.
Walt Cobb says the shooting incident happened on Western Avenue, near Nesika Elementary School, Cataline Elementary School, and Columneetza Secondary School.
“Because it’s in the vicinity of three schools plus our university, they’ve closed the schools for the day. But it was not targeted at the schools. That was my fear, that somebody had threatened the schools, but that was not the case,” said Cobb.
