  • Man flees to India in AP Dhillon shooting

Mounties on Vancouver Island say a man has been arrested in Ontario and another is believed to have fled to India after shots were fired at a home in Greater Victoria last month.

West Shore R-C-M-P say on September 2nd, officers were called to a home in Colwood, finding evidence of shots fired and two vehicles on fire in the home's driveway. 

Police say a 25-year-old Winnipeg man has been charged with discharging a firearm and arson, with another arrest warrant for a 23-year-old man who used to live in Winnipeg believed to be in India. 

Property records show the home is owned by Punjabi music star A-P Dhillon, who posted on Instagram after the shooting that he was safe.

Testy B.C. election campaign sees leaders attacking each other more than policy
British Columbia's election campaign enters its final day in what is viewed as a too-close-to-call contest where David Eby's New Democrats and the B.C.
