Police say latest Moccasin Flats shooting the result of careless gun use
28When language gets softened like this, it misleads the public about the real safety issues downtown and around Moccasin Flats. We can have compassion for people who are unhoused, but pretending this is just ‘carelessness’ helps no one. Especially the people living and working nearby.

28A lot of careless gun use going on in that trailer. Maybe they are not fit to own firearms?

26Wow, just wow! How does this happen especially after the incident with the 15 year old being shot in the same trailer last year?

23"Due to careless use of firearms" is an understatement.The only legal use of firearms is for hunting or target shooting.When not in use all firearms are supposed to be locked in a gun safe.The investigation should also include the careless storage of firearms in an urban environment. Under no circumstances are firearms to be carelessly stored in an urban environment so that an apparent accidental discharge will not happen.The guns were in an urban environment and not properly stored away. Where were the trigger locks?What is going on in the insane Liberal world of Mark Carney and NDP world of David Eby?

25“Careless use of firearms” lead to multiple shots being fired, multiple people being shot, and this occurring in the exact same trailer where a kid was shot a year ago? That’s some carelessness!If I happened to fire on an armed intruder who broke into my house, I would likely be charged with more than that.

24Careless gun use by criminals. It’s illegal to have a loaded gun in city limits unless at a legal gun range. The headline makes it sound like careless use is the only issue.

21Why weren't the firearms seized after the first incident? Or did the shooter just go out and get more guns? Seems to be a double standard here.

20Another strong case for management and city council to re-open Moccasin Flats Daily use campground. Next question for city management and city council, is why is the trailer still parked there after the closure of Moccsin Flats. Like the story says one teen shot last May of 2025 and now 2 peoplevon March 22, 2026. Do the leaders of Prince George now think it is time to get rid of the trailer. Thank goodness there is an election coming this fall and maybe we can replace at least half of the existing council members, then replace the rest of them the following election. Time to look at replacing some of the top city management as well. We also need to change the big fat payouts that are recieved by upper management when let go or fired.

19Give a homeless encampment 2 weeks. That’s it. Afterwards, the police, bylaw, &or security moves them out. With force if needed. Otherwise, the lawlessness continues to increase & fester. Afterwards, if anyone returns within 6 months there needs someone to move them out immediately. If a social worker or someone else can be a “point of contact” for to those two weeks or during move outs there is an increased likelihood of positive interactions with a chance of the homeless or addicted improving their lot in life. Having people wallow in the same spot with increased lawlessness isn’t the correct approach. All caring people feel for the homeless & addicted. That being said, one’s poor circumstances does not give one licence to commit crime or camp endlessly in one spot. Until a solution is found, move ‘em out.

19Where are they going to find housing for this person , that is careless with gun use? Big question why has he got guns? Why is he still there when the camp grounds is closed down, But wait they are going to reopen for overnight camping, good plan we can bring more people into the City , that want a free lunch and housing. I am sure that is good news for the Downtown and area.

18Shut this place down permanently. Do we not have enough shelters/converted hotels for people? Fires, shootings, violence, the theft is what comes from this place. Too bad for the businesses surrounding and the people that live above.

Dedicated volunteer talks about the heartbreaking reason she does what she does
17I used to experiment with drugs when I wasn’t much younger than Tanner. I tell my kids now, it isn’t worth it. There are too many stories like this, where some young kid, with their whole life ahead of them has their life cut short, because they had the misfortune of getting poisoned and they may not have even been aware. But maybe it never was worth it, even when it was safer. I look back now indifferent. All the joy one experiences while intoxicated is artificial and isn’t real. The people you hang around with, are probably just there to get high. You want to test this? Stop doing drugs and see who still hangs out with you. I think now, I would have been better off perusing real experiences and friendships.I fully agree, that the people distributing this stuff in any capacity, should get life in prison.

City of Prince George expects snow clearing to be done by Monday, March 30
6a place that has a history of snow storms and heavy Winters is ill-equipped to keep roads clear during a snowstorm or during light snowfall. These roads/hwys should be consistently cleared for business traffic. I see the effects of their clearing by the tragic accidents that recently cost 2 lives. Avoidable.
