Three people were taken to hospital on Friday after a Coquitlam shooting, according to police.

Mounties say they were called to Austin Avenue between Blue Mountain and Marmont Streets for reports of shots fired around 9:30.

“Officers arrived and located a male suffering from gunshot wounds,” says Sgt. Paul Vadik with the Coquitlam RCMP.

In a release Sunday, RCMP confirmed two innocent bystanders were also taken to hospital with minor injuries caused by debris from the shooting.

“The suspects in this shooting are still outstanding. The initial indications are that this shooting was targeted. The victim is known to police and it is unclear if there are any connections to the Lower Mainland gang conflict at this point.”

The target of the shooting is expected to make a full recovery, according to police.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information is asked to call police at (604) 945-1550. Anonymous tips can be reported to CrimeStoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477.
