Following the incident, a man was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. Police believe there are no outstanding public safety concerns stemming from this incident.

Blake Bernhard has been charged with breaching conditions of two different firearms related prohibitions and police are requesting that he be held on the charges while investigation into the actual shooting incident continues.
