A popular beach in Osoyoos, B.C., was the scene of a Canada Day shooting.

“We quickly located the victim who friends were transporting out,” Bayda said, noting that the victim was taken to hospital but has since been released.

“The injury is non-life-threatening though the wounds are consistent with a shooting.”

The violent incident took place between one person and a larger group, Bayda said. The victim and the alleged shooter were not known to one another, though there were connections with the larger group.
