Police say they're investigating a double shooting that occurred in East Vancouver over the weekend.

Investigators were called after midnight on Sunday about a shooting near Victoria Drive and East 28th Avenue.

Police say they got another call half an hour after the first about another shooting in the same neighbourhood, and two male victims were transported to hospital with serious injuries.

The V-P-D says no one has been arrested yet, but a suspect has been identified and is believed to be known to the pair of victims.
