Homicide investigators were deployed to North Vancouver, Friday, where a shooting left one man dead.

North Vancouver RCMP said officers were called to the parking lot of the Real Canadian Superstore at 333 Seymour Blvd. shortly before 3 p.m., where they found a man with multiple gunshot wounds.

The man died at the scene, police said.

“We want people to know that North Vancouver is safe, but we understand this is very alarming,” North Vancouver RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Peter DeVries said.

“Based on the investigative theory in this initial phase, this incident does not appear to be a random act.”

DeVries said it was too soon to say if the killing was gang-related.
