PRINCE GEORGE, BC: The Prince George RCMP is currently looking for witnesses to a shooting that occurred on Wednesday evening…

Police say the victim was walking in the area of 20th Avenue and Queensway at around 6:45 PM, when a brown Dodge 1500 pickup truck with an Alberta license plate approached him. The driver, whom the victim did not recognize, allegedly shot the victim from the vehicle and drove away.

The victim received medical treatment for his injuries.
