Quesnel Shooting: IIO Leads Investigation, Communication Lag Explained

0:00In Questnell, British Columbia shots rang out from a home in the Carson subdivision neighborhood last Wednesday just before 5pm. At least two dozen residents nearby after a bullet struck a neighboring property, but the RCMP decided it didn't meet the bar for a public alert. The city there only sends those alerts when the RCMP recommends it and spokesperson Sergeant Chris Clark confirmed on Friday that this situation fell. Short of the required criteria for widespread warnings, residents have been pushing back wondering why no emergency notification went out during the evacuation and heavy police response, especially since. Media got some early details from the local detachment commander. Turns out officers found the shooter inside with serious self-inflicted injuries, handing the case to British Columbia's independent investigations. Office, the civilian watchdog for police involved harm or deaths. That shift explains the communication lag. The IIO leads updates to keep things accurate and independent, prioritizing public safety over speed even.
