Shooting suspect on the lam in Abbotsford

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Dec, 2024 11:51 AM

Police in Abbotsford say a shooting suspect is on the loose after officers were called to a Harris Road property early yesterday morning.

Police say the owner encountered an unknown man on his property and the suspect fired shots before running away after an unspecified interaction with the property owner.

They say no one was hurt in the shooting, but a search for the shooter by police dogs, the emergency response team and aerial support failed to turn him up.

Police say they think the shooting was isolated, and they're looking for the suspect who was wearing a black Quicksilver-branded hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans and a baseball cap.
