UPDATED: Vernon RCMP are continuing the investigation into early Sunday reports of shots being fired at a residence and subsequent report of a vehicle set ablaze.

At about 2:21 a.m., officers received several reports of shots fired in the 3800 block of 21st Avenue.

“According to the reports, there were two vehicles that left the area immediately following the sounds of the shots being fired,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk.
