According to S/Sgt. Neil Bailey, two shots were allegedly discharged and was reported to have occurred near 104a St. and 101 Ave. in the hamlet of Lac La Biche.
However, RCMP do not have an exact crime scene location for the incident and are now asking for the public's assistance to provide any dash camera, surveillance footage or information from potential witnesses of the incident, Bailey told Lakeland Today.
