Multiple Kamloops RCMP officers were called to an address on the 700-block of 12^th Street, where a person was assaulted with a weapon and went to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  One person was arrested on scene.

“The police response was still active and ongoing at the time of this release,” said Cpl. Dana Napier mid-morning.

  “Residents are asked to please use caution in areas where officers are attending and avoid the area if possible.”  As a result, schools in the area were put on a brief “hold and secure” out of an abundance of caution.
