“This was an isolated event and not a random act as both parties were known to each other,” said Wigglesworth. “We do not feel that the public is at risk. All of our police resources remain fully engaged in this ongoing investigation.”

RCMP are asking anyone with information to call Cst. Mike Desmond at 250-492-4300.
