Punjabi singer and music producer AP Dhillon has taken to social media following reports of a shooting at his Vancouver Island home.
In a short message posted to Instagram, Dhillon says, “I’m safe. My people are safe. Thank you to everyone who reached out.”
His home in Colwood, just west of Victoria, on Vancouver Island is said to have been targeted early Monday morning.
While the West Shore RCMP did not confirm it to be Dhillon’s home, Mounties shared they were called to Ravenwood Road around 1:15 a.m. on Sept. 2 after reports of gunshots and two vehicles on fire.
“Occupants of the residence were evacuated by police and Colwood fire extinguished the vehicle fires quickly, preventing further fire damage to the residence,” the RCMP said in a statement.
Mounties believe the shooting was targeted, and there’s no “further risk to the public.”
Anyone with information about the shooting and subsequent vehicle fire is being asked to contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.
