UPDATE 3:45 p.m.:

The shutdown of a block of Penticton's Government Street on March 12 was the result of police locating one of three suspects in a shooting six days prior. 

According to a press release issued by the RCMP, one man believed to be involved in the shooting on Maple Street was taken into custody shortly after it was reported at 6:18 p.m. on March 6. 

Two other suspects were identified related to the shooting, but were not located immediately. 

The March 12 raid by local officers and members of the Southeast District's Emergency Response Team located one of the two suspects and took him into custody.  

The final suspect was located at a different location and also taken into custody. 

Firearms were found and seized during both March 12 arrests, the RCMP said, and charges are now pending.
