The incident prompted a police response from six RCMP detachments, along with a tactical, K9 and drone unit, all of which remained at the scene well into Wednesday afternoon.

“Preliminary investigation has revealed that several males were involved with an incident involving a firearm,” the RCMP said in a release on Thursday night.

“One adult male suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital.”

RCMP would not say what type of injuries the victim suffered, but did say the incident occurred at a home in the town’s south end.
