Two days after an early morning shooting brought police to a residential area just outside Vernon, B.C., RCMP say they have located and recovered a suspect vehicle.

The shooting occurred around 5:15 a.m., Monday.

Police said several rounds were discharged into a home and vehicles on a residential property on Cunningham Road.

No one was hurt in the shooting, even though five people were inside the house when the gunshots were fired.

Hours after the incident, police released a photo from surveillance footage of a vehicle that they say was “fleeing the area at the time of the shooting.”
