2 women charged after shooting in northwestern Alberta

Two women were charged Friday — one with attempted murder — after a shooting at a home in Berwyn, Alta.

RCMP were called at 6:30 a.m. Thursday about a shooting. They found a victim who was suffering non-life-threatening injuries but the suspect vehicle had left the scene, RCMP said.

Later in the day, during a patrol, an officer found the suspect vehicle in Grimshaw, about 11 kilometres northeast of Berwyn. One of the suspects connected to the shooting was taken into custody along with another woman.

RCMP believe the events were not random and the public is not at risk.

She is scehduled to appear in Peace River Provincial Court on June 19 via CCTV.
