Abbotsford police are investigating a suspected drive-by shooting after reports of shots fired Monday evening.

Police were called to a residential neighbourhood on Sandpiper Drive around 8:30 p.m.

Several people living nearby phoned police after hearing what they thought was gunfire.

"I just got my son to bed and I was in the kitchen and I hear this big bang bang bang bang bang," said neighbour Krista Boulton. "I was like ‘oh my God’ and I see this silver car going down Sandpiper."

Police say after the shooting they canvassed regional hospitals and located a 23-year-old man with a bullet wound to his leg.

The victim is well-known to police and is not cooperating with investigators. He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say there was a shooting on the same street less than two weeks ago, and a young man was shot to death in the same neighbourhood in October 2014.
