Prince George RCMP is currently investigating a shooting that occurred overnight on the 500-block of Patricia Boulevard, at the encampment locally known as Moccasin Flats.

The incident occurred shortly after 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, in a recreational vehicle that is parked at that location. The single victim, a 15-year-old girl, was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation is still in its preliminary stages, but there is currently no indication there is any increased risk to the general public resulting from this incident. We are asking that anyone who may have video surveillance or dash camera footage, or any information regarding this incident, please call our non-emergency number to speak with an investigator, states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

The investigation is currently with our Serious Crimes Unit, which is actively working to identify the outstanding suspect.

Police officers will remain at the scene today as the investigations continues.

If you have any information about this or any other criminal offence, please contact the Prince George RCMP at (250)561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1(800)222-8477 or online at www.northernbccrimestoppers.ca (English only).
