MAPLE RIDGE (NEWS1130) – Two men are in the hospital after a shooting and stabbing in Maple Ridge.
It happened around 8 a.m. around Laity Street and Lougheed Highway.
“The altercation was verbal. It got loud and then it got real violent,” says Inspector Dan Splinter. “One of the males was stabbed and the other was shot.”
“The male who was shot got into a vehicle and left… didn’t get very far. The male who was stabbed was able to take a few steps on the sidewalk and collapsed. He’s in very serious condition… the male who was shot is more stable,” he adds.
Mounties say the two men know each other. They add one of the men is known to them, but they don’t believe the incident was gang-related.
Investigators have closed down Laity between River Road and Lougheed Highway near Ridge Meadows Hospital.
