Shocking video has emerged of a shooting and fire that damaged high-profile Punjabi singer AP Dhillon’s home on Vancouver Island.
The video, which appears to be filmed from the point of view of the shooter, has begun circulating widely on social media.
In it, a pickup truck can be seen in flames in the home’s driveway, before an outstretched hand holding a handgun fires multiple shots at the Colwood home.
In a media release West Shore RCMP said it was called to the scene around 1:15 a.m. on Monday, calling the attack “targeted” and releasing few other details.
Dhillon posted a message on Instagram Monday night telling followers he and his people were safe.

Investigators could be seen outside the house on Monday, where bullet holes and evidence markers were visible along with scorch marks from the fire.
Neighbours said they heard the gunfire just after 1 a.m.
“I heard, firing shots. I wasn’t firecrackers. It was very intense … so then I went to the kitchen window to overlook at home, and I saw the truck on fire, and the truck had little fires underneath it being ignited,” said neighbour Diane Read.
“So I called 911 and told them what was going on and said that this truck was on fire and that I had heard shots.”
Property assessment records show the home is owned by Amritpal Singh Dhillon, known professionally as AP Dhillon.
Police are looking for any video shot in the area of Veteran’s Memorial Parkway from Sooke Road to Bear Mountain Parkway between midnight and 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 2.
