Last night, January 10, just after 10:00 p.m., Burnaby RCMP received a report of a possible shooting incident in the area of Randolph Avenue and Kingsway. When police arrived, the suspects, believed to be two men, had already fled the area. Frontline officers located a 43-year-old man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The man was transported to the hospital.
