Senior RCMP officer, Supt. Brad Mueller, has confirmed the 40-year-old male officer shot at during a Kamloops traffic stop is in critical but stable condition. Mueller explained that the officer provided Mounties with critical information and has recently underwent emergency surgery. However, Mueller refrained from revealing the extent of his injuries.

In a statement on Wednesday, Mueller stated that “I was at the hospital earlier this morning and visited with his wife and family,” adding that “the doctors were very happy with how he responded with the surgery.” Mueller revealed that the Mountie had 13 years’ experience and two young children. In addition to that, it was explained that the officer was wearing a bullet-proof vest and driving a marked police cruiser at the time he approached the vehicle just before 3 a.m. on Wednesday due to an ongoing investigation. However, Mueller elucidated that “I can say that our officer was fired upon as he approached the suspect vehicle and the backup officer who was also in attendance returned fire towards that vehicle.” It was added that “those results are preliminary and that will later be confirmed through further investigation into this matter.”

Mounties have announced to be looking for a white, four-door Chrysler Intrepid with B.C. licence plate AF765. Mueller stressed that “police ask the public to call the RCMP immediately if they encounter this vehicle and to consider any persons associated to this vehicle as armed and dangerous.”
