MAPLE RIDGE (NEWS1130) – When police arrived at 121st Avenue near 224th Street just before 8 o’clock Sunday night after reports of multiple gun shots, they found a man in the back of a vehicle who had been shot.
He was rushed to hospital by ambulance where he is expected to recover.
RCMP Regional Duty Officer Bryon Massie says the shooting was targeted, but they don’t know much else — including the motive or who is responsible.
“The suspect at this point is unknown, but there are numerous witnesses at the large outdoor scene that spans two to three blocks,” explains Massie.
Part of the problem is officers haven’t been able to speak to the victim because he is being treated for his injuries. What those injuries are, Massie couldn’t say.
While the victim isn’t known to police, little is known about him according to Massie.
The RCMP Serious Crimes Unit has taken over the case.
