One person was wounded in an exchange of gunfire between two vehicles 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.
