One person was wounded by gunfire in Maple Ridge on Saturday night, Aug. 1.
When Ridge Meadows RCMP officers responded to multiple reports of shots being fired from a vehicle near Selkirk and 223rd, they located evidence of a shooting and cordoned off the area.
Local area residents reported a black SUV was seen speeding along Selkirk firing multiple shots at another vehicle.
A police statement called it an “isolated incident” that did not pose a threat to public safety.
