Shortly after 7:30 a.m., the Burnaby RCMP identified and located an individual they believed to have been involved in the 4:10 a.m. shooting on Dubois Street, in between Joffre Ave and Boundary Rd.
A 43-year-old Burnaby man was arrested at a residence in Burnaby, away from the location of the shooting. He remains in custody pending further investigation.
The victim of the shooting, a 25-year-old Surrey woman, is recovering in hospital after being treated for gunshot wounds. The victim's injuries are now believed to be non-life-threatening.
We are happy to report that the victim is in stable condition, says Corporal Brett Cunningham of the Burnaby RCMP. She is speaking with police and cooperating with the investigation.
