Witnesses reported hearing some kind of disturbance on the roadway.  They said it sounded like an arguement between several people.  Witnesses also reported a full size pick-up in the area at the time of the shooting.

The truck reportedly fled, southbound on Ross Road, at a high rate of speed.

“Investigators have determined that one of the bullets fired had smashed through the window of a nearby residence,” says Cst. Jesse O’Donaghey. “A family of three, including an infant, were home at the time of the shooting. Thankfully they were in an adjacent room and were not injured as a result of this careless act,” adds O’Donaghey.

A police service dog was brought in, and the Kelowna Forensic Ident Section examined the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.  Anyone with information is asked to contact Cst. Raygan Ennis of the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880 or to contact Crimestoppers.
