Suspect sought after Anglemont shooting leads to mistaken vehicle takedown in Kamloops

May 10, 2021 | 3:00 PM

KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP have released more details about what drew a large police presence in the Valleyview area this morning (May 10).

In a release, Cst. Crystal Evelyn says the incident began around 6:45 a.m in the Anglemont area when Chase RCMP responded to a shots fired report along Fairview Road.

When police arrived on scene they found one man who had been shot. He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries while a suspect vehicle was seen speeding away from the area.

Several hours later around 9:40 a.m, police in the Pritchard area found a vehicle matching the description. Then with the help of Kamloops RCMP, a high-risk takedown occurred on Highway 1 near Vicars Road.

However police determined the vehicle and its occupants were not associated to the shooting incident and those individuals were released at the scene.
