According to a police report, the incident took place in the early morning hours of Oct. 5, around 2 a.m.
Campbell River RCMP said that patrol officers responded to the report, which they referred to as a “possible domestic in progress,” however, after an ensuing investigation, it was found that the incident was actually an argument between two occupants of separate vehicles.

According to RCMP, nobody was struck or hurt by the gunfire.
Police dog services were called in and a loaded firearm was located at the scene, reads a police report.
