The Vernon shooting happened at around noon on Monday, and Shoihet says a suspect was seen leaving the area in a 1996 grey Ford Crown Victoria. The suspect escaped and the RCMP say in a news release the Pontiac was traced to a B.C. Kelly Brett also said the 24-year-old man shot in Vernon remains in hospital in serious condition. The RCMP investigation must take care not to impede the Independent Investigations Office as it looks into the Nanaimo shooting, says Supt. “While we wish to advance these investigations, we must be mindful of the nexus to the ongoing Nanaimo investigation by the Independent Investigation Office of British Columbia,” he says in the news release.
