An 18-year-old man is in hospital in serious but stable condition after a shooting in Abbotsford, early Sunday morning.
Police were called to the 2700-block of Mitchell Street just after 4 a.m. and found a young man with gunshot wounds.
He was transported to hospital and his injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Witnesses reported seeing a dark vehicle driving away from the scene at a high rate of speed.
It’s the second shooting involving a teenager in just three days, and Abbotsford Police Cst. Ian MacDonald said police want people to be vigilant in their neighbourhoods.
“What we’re asking the public to do is to obviously be diligent, to phone in anything that looks out of the ordinary,” he said. “Anything that appears suspicious, they should go with their gut and phone the police.”
The two shootings took place just three kilometres apart.
Police said the victim is known to them and the shooting appears to have been targeted.
They also said it’s too early to know whether the incident is connected to Friday’s deadly shooting in Abbotsford, which claimed the life of an 18-year-old man.
