Man faces two murder charges after shooting at remote B.C. First Nation

TSAY KEH DENE, B.C. — Police say a man has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with fatal shootings in a northern B.C. First Nation community this week.

Mounties in Tsay Keh Dene, roughly 360 kilometres north of Prince George, say in a statement that Orlan Marcel Dennis is being held in custody.

RCMP say officers responded to a call late Tuesday about shots fired at a residence, where two people were later found dead.

They say a man armed with a gun fled to another home as officers arrived at the scene.
