At about 9 p.m. on Monday, officers responded to a report of shots being fired “multiple times” at a truck near 43 Street and 60 Avenue in Lloydminster.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that a black Jeep Wrangler had been following the truck when a passenger in the Jeep shot at the truck multiple times,” the RCMP said in a news release issued on Tuesday.

No injuries were reported.

Police said they have since located the Jeep they suspect was involved in the incident, and have brought in RCMP Forensic Identification Services to help with their investigation.

“At this time, police do not believe this is linked with any other ongoing investigations that have been recently reported, and it was not a random incident,” the RCMP said.
