They have since focused on the Hospitality Inn, directly across from CFJC Today’s headquarters in Broadcast Centre.

Sgt. Darren Michels says one man suffered a non-life threatening gunshot wound and is being treated at Royal Inland Hospital.

Upon arriving at the scene, investigators could not find any suspects but cordoned off the area. Initial investigation has revealed a group of people were seen in a parking lot when gunfire erupted.

Mounties are trying to ensure the multiple-unit Hospitality Inn area is safe and secure. That includes a road closure on Columbia Street from Sahali Terrace to McGill Road, including the adjacent frontage road.

Anyone with further information on the incident is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at (250) 828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.
