Abbotsford shooting near airport leaves 4 injured
Four men in their 20s were shot Saturday night in what police describe as a targeted incident in Abbotsford.
Authorities were called to King Road and Townline Road, near the airport, around 7:45 p.m., according to a statement from the Abbotsford Police Department.
"Upon arrival, officers identified a scene and located four male victims in their twenties. The victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries," it reads.
While the men’s injuries aren’t life-threatening, police are raising the alarm over the violent incident that unfolded mere metres away from King Traditional Elementary School.
"The situation itself is highly concerning and highly serious because we're talking about guns, we're talking about a shooting. And we're talking about four victims who appear to have been targeted," said Abbotsford Police Department spokesperson Const. Marie-Michelle Page.
Police say it's unclear if the four men shot were armed, but confirm no gunfire was exchanged.
The motive is still under investigation, and no arrests have been made.
"We don't know at this point. We're still investigating. It's very early in the investigation to say or come to a conclusion. We're still looking for a suspect. We don't know whether there is one or several suspects at this point," said Page.
While the investigation is in its early stages, police say the shooting does not appear to have been random, adding that there is no threat to the public.
Witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage from the area between the hours of 7:00 pm and 8:30 pm are asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225.
