A Blueberry male is in serious condition after gunshots Wednesday

 One male is in serious condition after a self-inflicted gun-shot wound at the Blueberry First Nations Reserve.

Wednesday, the Fort St. John RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance involving a 36 year-old male. The male ran with a firearm into the woods on the Blueberry First Nations Reserve.

When police arrived on scene, they discovered the male had ran down a steep embankment where he suffered a self-inflicted gun-shot wound to the chest. Several police offers and members of the Blueberry community were able to carry the male backup the embankment to provide emergency medical attention.

B.C. Ambulance staff then transported the male to the Fort St. John Hospital. The male was later flown out by air ambulance for specialized medical care.

The Fort St. John RCMP would like to thank the members of the Blueberry community for their assistance in both the evacuation and aid provided to the injured male.

The incident is still under investigation and no further information will be released at this time.
