Two people are injured and a third is in custody after what RCMP describe as a “public shooting” at a rodeo in Northern B.C. Sunday.

Police say they were called to the Williams Lake Stampede grounds around 3:30 p.m.

“Two people suffering from unspecified injuries have been taken to a local area hospital and one suspect is in custody. Preliminary information suggests that this incident was targeted and no further risk remains to the public,” Mounties said in a statement.

“The investigation is in its infancy and no further information is available at this time.”
