    Gangs Suspected As Man Injured In Targeted East Vancouver Shooting

    The Canadian Press, 04 May, 2016 11:45 AM
      VANCOUVER — A man is recovering in hospital following a targeted shooting in east Vancouver.
       
      Sgt. Randy Fincham says officers were called to the area of Oxford Street and Skeena Street in northeast Vancouver just after 11 p.m., Tuesday.
       
      A man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds was found in the backyard of home.
       
      Fincham says surgeons operated overnight and the man is expected to recover.
       
      Officers have not determined a motive for the shooting but say the victim is well known to them and the attack is believed to be gang-related.
       
      No arrests have been made and Fincham says police are searching for witnesses or security video that could aid the investigation.
