At about 1:40 this morning the Vernon RCMP
were called to Hartnell Rd for a report of shots being fired. When our
officers arrived at the home they found two people deceased. Our first
responding officers assisted two children and the adult relative out of
the home to a vehicle. None of these three were harmed in this event. The South East District Major Crimes Unit was called in to
assist in this investigation. Working with the BC Coroners Service on
this investigation, they continue to work on it and are treating the
deaths of the two people inside the residence as suspicious. The names are not being released at this time as police work
to notify the next of kin and continue to investigate and follow up on
details of this tragic event.The investigating officers are asking anyone who might have
heard shots being fired on Hartnell Rd late last night or early this
morning to please call the Vernon RCMP office at 250-545-7171.
