A man was rushed to the hospital in critical condition following a shooting that took place in an Abbotsford parking lot on Saturday night, according to the AbbyPD.
The incident unfolded on Nightingale Drive near Blueridge Drive just before 11 p.m. when witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing two vehicles speeding away from the scene.
Upon arriving at the location, officers discovered evidence consistent with a shooting in the nearby parking lot, as confirmed by AbbyPD.
Shortly after, patrol officers located a vehicle on Downes Road near Mount Lehman Road, where they subsequently found the injured man a short distance away.
Although the motive is still under investigation, initial findings suggest that the incident was specifically targeted, AbbyPD stated.
The two scenes are believed to be linked, according to investigators.
The AbbyPD Major Crime Unit is currently gathering evidence in the Downes Road area on Sunday, with authorities assuring the public that there is no ongoing threat to public safety.
