Firearms incident under investigation
Cranbrook RCMP responded to a delayed report of a firearms-related incident that occurred during the early morning hours of February 12, in the 400 block of 3rd Avenue South, Cranbrook.
Officers attended the area, established containment, and developed a tactical plan to safely assess the residence believed to be involved.
To reduce risk to the public and responding officers, police deployed a drone to enter the residence and determine whether anyone inside required assistance or posed a safety concern. No injured parties were located.
Additionally, a nearby school was notified out of an abundance of caution while the investigation was underway. There is currently no further ongoing risk to the public. Incidents of this nature can understandably heighten concern within the community, and officers remain committed to transparent communication and ensuring public safety.
The investigation continues and Cranbrook RCMP is asking residents in the surrounding area to review their home security or doorbell camera footage for any activity around 3 a.m. on February 12.
Anyone with relevant video or information is asked to contact Cranbrook RCMP at their earliest opportunity.
