One man is in custody following a shooting in Thornhill from yesterday afternoon, which claimed one life.
Terrace RCMP have charged Samuel Ratchford with second degree murder in the shooting of Dillion Loehndorf.
Jut after 12:30 in the afternoon, officers located Loehndorf, who had been suffering from a gun shot wound, and began administering first aid until EHS could arrive.
Sadly, Loehndorf succumbed to his wounds on scene.
After speaking to witnesses, police were able to quickly identify and locate their suspect, who, after several attempts to communicate, surrendered without incident.
Police believe that the two were known to each other, and that there is no further threat to the community.
Ratchford was quickly apprehended, and will remain in custody until his court appearance on February 8th.
