A Prince George man, charged in connection with a shooting incident in Quesnel, will be back in court on Jan. 26 to set a date for his trial.
29-year old Eric John Vining was ordered to stand trial at his Preliminary Inquiry on Friday. Vining is facing several charges including Attempted Murder and Discharging a Firearm with Intent to Wound or Disfigure.
Quesnel RCMP was called to a residence in the West Fraser Drive area in June of last year.
Police say a male suspect reportedly entered the residence, produced a handgun and demanded money before firing the gun.
RCMP say it was extremely fortunate that no one was hit.
Police say the suspect then fled the scene in a blue pick-up truck that was reported to be on fire less than an hour and a half later on nearby Marsh Road.
Investigators quickly determined that their suspect was Vining, a violent prolific offender from Prince George, who was known to police.
He was arrested later that night in Prince George.
