Mounties Find Two Dead Men During Probe Of Shots-Fired Complaint in Anahim Lake, BC

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 27 Dec, 2014 02:52 PM
    ANAHIM LAKE, B.C. — Two men are dead and several suspects have been arrested in what Mounties are describing as a double homicide in British Columbia's Interior.
     
    RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman said police were called to a rural residence just before midnight Friday in the small community of Anahim Lake, which is a drive of about 863 kilometre north of Vancouver.
     
    Once on the scene, police found the dead men who were 22 and 23 years old.
     
    "This is an extremely tragic incident," Tyreman said. "It just hits home even that much more close to Christmas and our hearts go out to the families involved in this incident."
     
    Tyreman said police called in additional officers from Bella Coola and Alexis Creek, as well as the major crime unit and an emergency response team.
     
    He said police arrested several suspects without incident at about 9 a.m. Saturday, and authorities believe the individuals knew each other.
     
    Tyreman said the investigation is in its early stages.
     
    A provincial government travel website notes the small community, located west of Williams Lake and east of Bella Coola, is home to about 360 people.
