Once officers identified a home connected to the suspected gunshots, they set up a presence and asked the public to keep clear. Nearby residents were told to shelter in place.

In a news release issued Thursday (July 21) morning, Kamloops RCMP Inspector Jeff Pelley says the Yew Street standoff comes on the heels of a shooting in Dallas the night prior, although the incidents are not currently believed to be related.

“The Kamloops RCMP Detachment realizes the inconvenience caused to the public during the police presence yesterday; we are thankful for their cooperation in helping to ensure a safe outcome for all of those in and around the area,” Pelly says.

Anyone with information related to the investigation is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP.
