RCMP on Prince Edward Island say they’re investigating after an apparent shooting that took place on the west side of the Island on Friday.
Mounties say in a Saturday news release that officers responded to a report of shots fired on Route 125 in Urbainville around 8 p.m.
The release does not indicate whether anyone was shot, but says a vehicle involved in the incident appeared to have crashed into ditch and struck a telephone pole.
They say a man who they believe to be the driver was pronounced dead at the scene and a 50-year-old woman from Summerside was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Police determined the incident to be a targeted and isolated incident and there is no reason to believe there is a risk to public safety.
The RCMP say the investigation is continuing with “extensive police resources,” including RCMP Forensic Identification Services, RCMP police dogs, Summerside Police and Kensington Police Services.
