BURNABY (NEWS1130) – Mounties in Burnaby say no shoppers were hurt when shots were fired at a mall parking lot last night. It happened at the Old Orchard Shopping Complex at the corner of Kingsway and Willingdon Avenue around 7 p.m.
“At this stage it appears to be a gang-motivated shooting between peripheral players believed to be involved in the drug trade,” says RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen.
Witnesses say three men were parked in silver BMW. One of the men got out and started walking before stopping, turning around and firing two shots at the other man in the car. The shooter then reportedly got into another car that was waiting nearby.
The men in the car have criminal records.
