  • Abbotsford police say two victims stabbed, suspect suffered self-inflicted injuries

Police in Abbotsford, B.C. say a Saturday evening stabbing that sent three people to hospital, including the suspect, appears to have been a targeted attack.

Officers were called to a residential complex on McCallum Road south of Marshall Road shortly before 7:00 p.m. Saturday for a weapons call. 

When they arrived, they found two people with what appeared to be serious and life-threatening stab wounds.

Emergency service members treated the victims at the scene, and they were rushed to hospital.

Police found the suspect a short time later, who was placed into custody and taken to hospital with what appeared to be self-inflicted injuries. 

The Major Crime Unit has taken control of the investigation, with early indicators suggesting the event was targeted and there is no risk to the public.
