Steven David Kennedy, wanted by police for the serious assault and shooting incident near Evansburg Monday, has turned himself in.

Kennedy turned himself in to Hinton RCMP shortly after noon Tuesday afternoon, according to RCMP.

Considered armed and dangerous, Kennedy was seen in the Hinton area Monday evening.

RCMP had issued an arrest warrant for Kennedy's involvement in the shooting near Evansburg involving Ray and Jon Nickason.

Kennedy also has an additional warrant for two offences of uttering threats against an elder of the two victims in relation to incidents that took place in November.

"A warrant relating to two incidents of alleged uttering threats that relate from two incidents back in November of 2008," said Cpl. Wayne Oakes with the RCMP.

Ray Nickason was assaulted in his garage Monday morning and his son was shot in the stomach near Evansburg, just north of Highway 16 in the Lake Isle area.

CTV News spoke with friends of the victims Monday.

"He was beaten up in his shop by a guy in camouflage with a high powered rifle, his son came out to have a smoke and saw the guy beating on him, and he said what are you doing?" said friend of the family, Koreen. "The guy turned around and shot Jon in the stomach."

Kennedy reportedly turned and shot 21-year-old Jon Nickason in the stomach just after beating on his father Ray.

STARS ambulance was dispatched to the scene around 7:45 a.m. Monday morning and transported Nickason to the University of Alberta Hospital. The father was also sent hospital, but by ground ambulance.

CTV has learned some sources say the same person is linked to an earlier incident.

On November 13th, a truck owned by the Nickason's was firebombed on the property and friends of the badly beaten dad and critically wounded son agree with the theory police are going on.

The two victims remain in hospital Tuesday. Friends told CTV News that the son has been upgraded to stable condition following a surgery and the father's condition remains unknown at this time.

Those close to Ray Nickason said he was beaten beyond recognition and police have not released a possible motive.
