Police are investigating a shooting that caused no injuries but damaged a Port Coquitlam home and nearby vehicles.
Shots were fired at around 8:30 p.m. Sunday in the 3800-block of Ulster Street, near Apel Drive, Mounties said.
Officers arrived within minutes of multiple 911 calls for gunfire blasting through a truck window. Several shots also pierced the garage door.
Investigators have provided few details, but said they believe the shooting was targeted.
While no one was injured in the incident, a resident of the neighbourhood said she was badly shaken.
"I've lived in the neighbourhood off and on for nearly 60 years… It hits me in the heart," the woman named Shirley told CTV.
"I worry the consequences of, what if they hit the wrong house?"
Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said Mounties understand area residents are alarmed.
"We want them to know we're taking this seriously," he said.
Mounties ask anyone with video or information that may help the investigation to contact the RCMP. The Investigative Support Team can be reached at 604-945-1550, or tips can be left anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
The shooting came just two days after a fatal incident about seven kilometres away. Donald Kelly, 45, was fatally wounded in what police believe was also a targeted shooting near Sylvan Place and Riverview Crescent in Coquitlam.
A few days before that, 23-year-old Tarek Al-Romeshi was fatally shot in Langley on Feb. 10, and a Surrey realtor was gunned down on Vancouver's West Side last week.
Investigators have been quick to distance the incidents, saying the rash of gun violence appears unrelated.
"We certainly understand why people try to understand events that may be similar but we must follow the evidence," McLaughlin said.
"The evidence is telling us that the shootings that've happened in recent days are not related. We have nothing to suggest they are part of the same thing."
