“One male was transported to a local area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. … It’s yet to be determined whether it’s related to the Lower Mainland gang conflict,” Staff Sgt. Ed Hryciuk told CityNews.
Hryciuk says suspects related to the incident have not yet been identified or arrested, however, “there are early indications the shooting was targeted.”
