Kelowna RCMP say weapon was found to be pellet gun
The union representing striking transit workers in the Central Okanagan says a man pulled a gun on a striking bus driver outside Kelowna’s Orchard Park Mall Monday morning.
Police now say the weapon was a pellet gun.
The incident was reported to have happened just after 10 a.m. PT Monday as transit workers picketed at a mall bus stop.
Bus drivers said the man screamed at the picketers to get back to work. He then allegedly pulled out the weapon, pointed it at a driver and sped away on a bike. No one was injured.
“It’s unbelievable. I’m still processing this,” said Scott Lovell, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1722.
