One suspect has been arrested and a single charge has been approved following a shots fired incident in Fort St. John on Wednesday night…

Police say on July 22, 2026 just before 9:00 pm, RCMP received a report of multiple shots fired in the area of 112th Avenue and 108th Street, a well known area for such crimes to occur.

Officers immediately attended and support sections were mobilized for a crime scene that was extensive after witness reports said a black sedan and a pedestrian exchanged gunfire before the vehicle fled the area.

During the investigation, one man believed to be the pedestrian, was located with a gunshot wound and taken to hospital. Five residences and one vehicle were hit by the gunfire.  

The injured man was discharged from hospital and arrested for his part in the incident. Tyrone McGee is facing 1 charge of Reckless Discharge of a Firearm and remains in Fort St. John RCMP custody.

“Officers from the Fort St. John RCMP Serious Crimes Unit, Drug Unit, Forensic Identification Section and the Peace-Liard Police Dog Service worked hard through the night to be able to support charges against McGee and garner additional leads thanks to the co-operation with the residences of the neighbourhood,” said Sergeant Ian Rissanen, Plain Clothes Commander for the Fort St. John RCMP.  An abundance of physical evidence was located throughout the scene and it should only be a matter of time until we identify and locate the occupants of the suspect car that fled.”

The Fort St. John RCMP continues to investigate and is requesting the public’s assistance in locating a black 2016 Subaru Legacy bearing BC licence plate A029WA. If anyone sees it, please do not approach it, instead immediately report it to your local police agency.
