A man is in custody after after a shooting incident Tuesday night on Flagman Place.
Abbotsford Police Department was called to the 2900 block of Flagman Place at around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night after multiple calls reporting shots fired, the APD said in a news release.
As officers were en route, a man contacted the APD to report that an individual exited the residence and allegedly fired a gun at a vehicle. The driver of that vehicle fled, but no one was injured, police said.
APD patrol, emergency response team and the crime reduction unit all responded to the location, and a 43-year-old man is in custody facing firearms charges. The name of the man has not been released.
Major crime detectives are continuing the investigation Wednesday morning, police said, adding the incident does not appear to be associated with gang conflicts in the Lower Mainland.

Flagman Place, a short cul-de-sac about a block from Station Road, was also the location of a non-fatal shooting in January 2017, which police said at the time also did not appear to be related to the gang conflict of the time.
Police are seeking video and witnesses to the incident, and anyone with information can call the major crime unit at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
