Infotel is reporting that "One person is in hospital after a shooting at a rooming house in downtown Kamloops. The shooting appears to have been isolated to one of the units.
"'I'm always in fear,' one of the residents told iNFOnews.ca. She wasn't home when the shooting took place around 1 a.m. Thursday, June 19, but she returned to find police had the building evacuated as a crime scene."
"Now that this has happened, I'm hoping the RCMP and the city will hold them more accountable for what's going on back there," she said. "Bylaws comes and they have been more frequently a lot more with the stolen bikes and the chop shop, but it's gotten worse and worse. All these poor neighbours, they're tired of it."
"The victim is in hospital after reaching a nearby convenience store and collapsing while looking for help, according to a 7-Eleven employee."
"Another resident, Sean Hewitt, said he lives next door to the rear suite where the shooting is believed to have taken place. Each unit is bachelor suite, but the neighbouring unit frequently has up to a dozen people."
"He claimed drugs are sold out of the home and there is heavy traffic at night and hopes the recent shooting will see an end to that activity. 'I'm hoping the system will put the drug dealers away for good,' he said."
