No confirmation from authorities at this point, but the makings of a gang shooting appears to have taken place on the Kamloops north shore.

Social media reports indicate as many as 8 shots may have rang out earlier Wednesday evening, around 7pm, near the Sandbar Grill off of Tranquille.

Photos on social media indicate a black SUV in the Thompson River, with the poster suggesting survivors may have been able to exit the vehicle.

Subsequently, reports indicate a car fire a few kilometers away to the north in Westsyde, with police blocking the intersection at Grasslands, where traffic was reportedly tied up due to the incident.

Reports indicate police are searching vehicles trying to make their way out of the Westsyde area, with unconfirmed reports the vehicle fire may have been several kilometers north to an area opposite Heffley Creek.
