The Prince George RCMP continues to investigate a weekend incident that landed six people in jail…

Police say on Sunday, January 12, 2025, just after 1:30 PM, officers received a report of shots fired near Upper Fraser Road. Investigation led officers to a house on the 16700-block of East Perry Road.

Due to the nature of the incident and the known history of those residing at that location, police officers contained the residence until they could obtain a firearms search warrant for the home. The North District Emergency Response team, the RCMP helicopter Air 3, and our Police Dog Services unit were all called in to assist with the execution of the search warrant, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Six people were arrested in connection with the investigation. Five of the six were released pending the full results of Sunday’s investigation and the sixth person was held in custody on outstanding arrest warrants.

Two firearms were located and seized by police during the search of the residence and surrounding property, as well as a stolen vehicle that was seized by police for further investigation.

Highway 97 was also closed during the beginnings of the police incident for safety reasons.

Investigation is ongoing.
