Mounties are investigating a shooting at an encampment in Prince George, B.C., that left a 15-year-old girl injured early Wednesday morning.

Prince George RCMP said the incident unfolded on Patricia Boulevard, in the area known as Moccasin Flats, shortly after 1 a.m.

The shooting happened in a “recreational vehicle that is parked at that location,” the detachment said in a news release.

Authorities have yet to identify or arrest a suspect.

“The investigation is still in its preliminary stages, but there is currently no indication there is any increased risk to the general public resulting from this incident,” Cpl. Jennifer Cooper said, in a statement.

Cooper asked anyone with information related to the shooting – including surveillance video or dash-cam footage – to contact the Prince George RCMP’s non-emergency line.
