The Independent Investigation Office is investigating a shooting in Summerland.
They say it happened early Saturday morning, after a Summerland RCMP officer attempted to pull over a vehicle at Rosedale and Prairie Valley Roads.
Police report that the vehicle headed into a dead-end street at Giant’s Head Mountain Parkway, where there was an interaction between police and the vehicle.

Several hours later, a man showed up at the local hospital suffering from a gunshot wound. It’s believed the man – who is in stable condition – was connected to the earlier incident.
The vehicle believed to be involved in the incident was located by police in Summerland around 7 a.m. and is being examined by investigators.
