Prince George RCMP are investigating a shooting that took place shortly before 3:00 a.m. on Friday, January 30, on the 600-block of Ahbau Street. Officers responding to the scene confirmed that no residents were injured during the incident.

The early stages of the investigation suggest the shooting was targeted, and authorities say there is no ongoing risk to the public. Ahbau Street was temporarily closed while officers conducted their initial work but has since been reopened.

Cst. Jenna Moore, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP, urged anyone who witnessed the incident or noticed suspicious activity in the area to come forward. “The investigation is still in its early stages, but initial findings indicate this was likely a targeted event,” she said.

The RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation and is actively working to identify and locate the suspect involved.
