DAWSON CREEK, B.C. — Two men in their 20s have been charged with attempted murder and forcible confinement related to a recent shooting in Dawson Creek, B.C.

North District RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson says the attack happened Nov. 2.

She says charges have now been laid against 22-year-old Ghislain Cormier and 20-year-old Chase Schwab.

Both men remain in custody awaiting further court proceedings.

Saunderson says the investigation began after a 30-year-old man was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators believe the attack was targeted and the public is not at risk.
