KAMLOOPS β€” Kamloops RCMP are investigating after four people were stabbed at an apartment complex party last night (Mar. 28).

In a release, RCMP say at 11:32 p.m Saturday night, police responded to a 9-1-1 call for an apartment complex on Carson Crescent. When they arrived, they found four people had been stabbed during a party held in one of the units.

A 59-year-old man died at the scene, while a 58-year-old man, and 62-year-old man have been hospitalized with life threatening injuries. A 21-year-old man also on the scene suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Shortly after, around 1:00 a.m on Sunday (Mar. 29), Kamloops RCMP Plainclothes Commander Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay says, police arrested a 43-year-old man in relation to this incident.

β€œThe Kamloops Serious Crime Unit has taken over this case. We are at the early stage of this investigation and there is very little reliable information that we can provide to the public at this time. Based on our current understanding of this incident, there is no danger to the public. The alleged suspect and victims appear to have known each other.”
