Police initially said the shooting could have been the result of a road rage incident, but members of the Cochrane RCMP now say they no longer believe this to be the case.

“Intelligence gathered led the RCMP to a residential location where a black four-door Chrysler Sebring was seized and secured for forensic examination,” said the RCMP in a statement Friday.

“One adult male who was at the property has been detained.”

RCMP Cpl. Laurel Scott said the man’s involvement in the incident remains under investigation.

“We are being very clear not to say that we have arrested the male suspect — rather we have made an arrest and are now determining his involvement in the incident,” she said.
