Police say a suspect is in custody after officers responded to reports of a shooter at an RCMP detachment in northern British Columbia.

Cpl. Madonna Saunderson says there are no reported injuries at this time.

Police say they responded to reports of a person with a long gun who targeted the RCMP detachment at 12:16 p.m. and was driving around the area.

In order to keep people safe, an emergency alert was sent to people’s phones in Prince George, Vanderhoof and the surrounding areas.

 

RCMP say a lone male suspect, considered armed and dangerous, was believed to be driving a white Ford pickup truck with an extended cab.

The alert was later cancelled and residents were told to return to their normal activities.
