Kelowna RCMP is investigating a shooting that happened at 11:30 a.m. at the Budget car rental office located near Highway 97 and Leathead Road. Police say two men were returning a rental vehicle when a third man walked in and started shooting.
Both men were hit with bullets. They are currently at Kelowna General Hospital, and one of them is currently in surgery. Both are expected to survive. Police have not confirmed one victim was shot in the face.
Witnesses say the suspect fled on foot. A police helicopter and police dog were brought in to locate the suspect. At this point, investigators have not been able to identify the shooter and are looking at surveillance video to get a better description.
Mike Roberts, superintendent with school district #23 for Central Okanagan told CTV News approximately eight schools were temporarily locked down during the manhunt.
Police have not released the names of the victims or a motive behind the shooting but say it looks like a targeted shooting and the public is not at risk.
