Prince George R-C-M-P say a woman was seriously injured in a shooting Sunday and they are looking for a suspect vehicle.

Mounties say it happened on Sunday morning at a home on Lalonde Road and that it was a targeted incident.

They say surveillance footage shows a dark-coloured, extended cab pickup leaving the home at the time of the shooting.

The Mounties say it was the third violent incident in the city in a week and are asking for anyone who witnessed those coming and going from the home to contact them.
