Shots fired around midnight Monday in targeted Richmond shooting: RCMP

Richmond RCMP are investigating shots fired around midnight Monday in the 7000 block of Parry Street.

When officers arrived, they found two vehicles parked at a home with damage consistent with gunfire. Mounties say a person known to them was also found, but has not been cooperative.

That person is not injured, but police believe the victim was deliberately targeted.

“We are very concerned with this overt display of violence and the blatant disregard for public safety,” Cpl. Dennis Hwang of Richmond RCMP said in a release.
