PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — A shooting in Prince George, B.C., has left one man dead.

RCMP in the city say the attack occurred late Wednesday night.

Few details are available but police believe the shooting was targeted.

The name of the victim has not been released and investigators have not said if any suspects have been identified.

The attack comes less than a week after a shooting at a suspected drug house in Prince George led to the arrest of one man.

At the time, police said several people linked to that shooting were still at large and further violence could not be ruled out, but officials have not said if the latest homicide is related.
