Subject of 2017 shootout, standoff with Kamloops RCMP receives eight-year sentence
KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops man who admitted to triggering a 2017 shootout and standoff with Kamloops RCMP has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Shane William Caron will spend just over 3-and-a-half years, thanks to time spent in custody since his October 27, 2017 arrest.
On that date, Caron led police on a lengthy pursuit stretching from the Kamloops North Shore, through the Tk’emlups reserve to the G & M Trailer Park where he holed up in his parents home.
As the chase tore through the Mount Paul Industrial Park, gunfire was exchanged between Caron and pursuing RCMP officers.
