15-year-old hospitalized after shooting at Prince George homeless encampment
RCMP say they are investigating an overnight shooting at a Prince George, B.C., homeless encampment that sent a 15-year-old to hospital. The police force says it happened in a recreational vehicle that has been parked in the encampment, known as Moccasin Flats, at about 1 a.m. PT Wednesday morning. The victim, a 15-year-old girl, was taken to hospital with "serious but non-life-threatening injuries," Cpl. Jennifer Cooper said in a news release. Police say they don't believe there is any wider risk as a result of the shooting, and are seeking dashcam footage or witnesses to the event. Moccasin Flats has been designated as the sole location in Prince George where overnight camping is allowed as part of the city's efforts to curb people sleeping in other areas. The city is seeking a court injunction allowing it to remove the site after previously being prevented from doing so due to a lack of suitable shelter space elsewhere in the community.
