Preliminary hearing scheduled for Red Deer woman charged in Woodlands County shooting
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a Red Deer woman charged in a Woodlands County shooting last spring.
Amanda Britney Ann McCarthur, 21, of Red Deer, is scheduled to find out in Whitecourt provincial court on May 1, 2023, if her case has enough evidence to go to trial.
It was on May 23, 2022, when Mayerthorpe RCMP were dispatched to the Mayerthorpe Health Centre after staff reported an adult male had been dropped off who was suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Mounties say the male was transported to an Edmonton hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Through the investigation led by Whitecourt RCMP and including Mayerthorpe RCMP, Western Alberta District General Investigation Services (GIS), Alberta RCMP Police Dog Services & Forensic Identification Services, it was determined the male had been shot in the hand and leg at a private residence in Blue Ridge, about midway between Whitecourt and Mayerthorpe.
