The Kitimat RCMP got word about some gunshots being fired around the 80 block of Baxter Avenue near the end of April.
After being able to find some evidence that seemed to allude to a weapon being fired at that scene, the Police ended up getting more word that a victim was suffering from injuries with them also reportedly being in that same Baxter area a few hours earlier.
The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment and a few days later, the RCMP arrested a 27 year old male suspect that has since had an aggravated assault charge approved against them by Crown Counsel.
Both the suspect and victim reportedly knew of each other before hand and the incident is said to have been targeted.
The suspect is being held for a future court date but the investigation is still ongoing.
