A 21-year-old Rocky Mountain House man charged with attempted murder after a man was shot repeatedly at a Hummingbird Backcountry campground in 2019 has been ordered to stand trial.

A preliminary hearing wrapped up last Friday for Edward McKenzie. Dates for his trial have not yet been scheduled.

Mounties were called on the afternoon of June 29, 2019 about a male who had allegedly been shot multiple times at a campground and taken to an area hospital in a private vehicle. The victim was later airlifted to hospital in Edmonton.

A suspect was arrested soon after.

Police said that the suspect and victim involved in the shooting were known to each other and that there was no risk to the public.
