Apr 2, 2025 | 4:33 PM
KAMLOOPS — RCMP pounced on a suspect who apparently waved a gun at an unhappy Tranquille Road driver Wednesday morning (April 2).
Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says at about 11:00 a.m., Mounties were called to the 100-block for the report of a pedestrian who was said to have yelled at a driver who honked at them — before waving a gun.
“Fortunately, an officer with the detachment’s Police Dog Service Unit was in the area and quickly located and took the suspect into custody,” Evelyn. “Backup members arrived shortly to assist.”
The suspect was taken to RCMP cells as police investigate.
