During the short pursuit initiated by VicPD on Monday
morning after the shooting, it is believed that Fletcher fired at officers in
the pursuing vehicle. Nobody was hit, but the trajectory from the
suspects’ vehicle leads detectives to believe that he had fired at police during
the pursuit.
Officers have scoured the area looking for the bullet
casings or rounds, but have not yet located any. Detectives are now
asking for the public’s assistance.
If you locate a bullet casing or locate an unexplained hole
in a building along the pursuit route, please call VicPD’s non-emergency line
at 250-995-7654. Do not pick up or handle any evidence, but stay with it
and officers will attend immediately.
“Officers from around the Capital Regional District are
looking for Mr. Fletcher,” said Sgt. Jamie McRae, Lead Investigator. “We will
leave nothing to chance in apprehending him safely.”
Fletcher, who is wanted for attempted murder, is still
considered armed and dangerous and VicPD is urging the public to call 911
immediately if he is spotted.
