Witnesses Forced to Take Cover when Gunman Opened Fire at Vernon Lookout, Judge Told

Johan Giesbrecht Friesen, who was born in 1992, has been charged in connection with a firearm discharge during a shooting incident at The Rise lookout in Vernon on May 14.
The shooting followed an earlier assault on March 25 involving a man and a woman in a parked vehicle, which prompted Friesen to return and fire multiple shots.
Police reported no injuries, but two vehicles were hit by bullets and a Good Samaritan had glass removed from his head after a window was shattered.
At the bail hearing in Kamloops provincial court, adjourned to June 3, Crown prosecutor Camille Cook stated, "shots were fired" as witnesses took cover behind a vehicle.
Friesen is also accused of making threats intended to cause death or serious injury during an incident on March 25, and he was taken into custody at a Falkland gas station the day after the shooting.
