"These are targeted events, I think the public does have to remain vigilant," said Baird. "These are dangerous people, Kamloops is, generally speaking, a safe community, it's a family community, I mean all the police officers who live here are also citizens so I like to think this is a safe community. There is a level of volatility and violence out there in the streets right now when it comes to the drug trade."
"We have extra police officers here that are working on not only this case but the robbery from last Thursday and we are still actively working on that investigation from January... I think we're doing a good job now trying to get a handle on things and there is a lot of police officers in the streets."
