With the 31-year-old female shooting victim still in hospital with serious injuries, RCMP have arrested a 28-year-old West Kelowna resident on charges of aggravated assault and prohibited possession of a weapon related to the incident.
Evan Anthony Swite was arrested today by West Kelowna RCMP and charged before a Judicial Justice of the Peace. Swite has been remanded in custody pending his first court appearance on July 18.

The woman was rushed to hospital with life threatening injuries and currently is listed as in serious but stable condition.
