On Oct. 3 Smithers RCMP were called out to a residence in the Riverside Trailer Park for a disturbance. When police arrived two men were located with one suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim had told police that he accidentally shot himself, however further investigation led police to believe that he had not accidentally shot himself. The other man was arrested without incident. Police found a shotgun laying on the ground near the victim and witnesses informed police that the two men were in a verbal altercation. The victim was taken to hospital for serious injuries.
Police do not believe there is a further risk to the public. The investigation is still ongoing.
