“When police arrived on scene, they located a 39-year-old man with injuries consistent with a gunshot,” said a statement Thursday morning.

Police say paramedics took the man to hospital in stable condition. BC Emergency Health Services later described the patient’s condition as “serious” but stable.

Mounties did not clarify if the wound was believed to be self-inflicted.

Investigators remained on scene as of 7:30 a.m. Thursday.
