MERRITT — Police in Merritt say three people have been arrested after an incident early Sunday (Nov. 16) morning that allegedly involved an unknown number of shots being fired into the air.
RCMP say the shots rang out from a vehicle in the 2000-block of Nicola Avenue around 3:00 a.m., after a verbal altercation between people in the vehicle and an unidentified group. According to police, the vehicle apparently struck a barrier as it entered a parking lot just prior to the altercation.
Police say the shots were allegedly fired by someone who was in the vehicle as it left the area, though no one was injured. That vehicle was later seized after it was found at a house on the 2300-block of Coutlee Avenue.
Two people were also taken into custody and police say the third person was arrested after a search warrant was executed on the house.
