Darpan News Desk Burnaby RCMP, 11 Jan, 2022 10:40 AM

Burnaby RCMP’s Investigative Support Team investigate shooting incident that has left a victim with a non-life-threatening injury

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.

“We do not believe the public is in any further danger, as this was a targeted incident,” said Corporal Mike Kalanj with the Burnaby RCMP. “If you have any information, please contact our investigators.”

Police believe the victim, who is not cooperating with the investigation, knows the suspects.

Burnaby RCMP’s Investigative Support Team continues to investigate and ask any witnesses to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.
