Langley, BC (WNEWS) – One man has been rushed to hospital with potentially life-threatening wounds after a shooting Monday afternoon at Langley’s Willowbrook Mall.
Shots were fired just after 3:30 p.m., according to Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Largy.
The victim, an adult male, was found by officers and taken to hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.
Police says it does not appear to be a random act.
Shortly after 4 p.m., about a half hour after the shooting, a vehicle on fire was reported at a rural Aldergrove berry farm.
“It is yet to be determined it this vehicle fire is related to the Willowbrook event,” Largy said.
In many recent gang-related shootings, getaway vehicles are abandoned and burned shortly after the event.
The site of the shooting will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time, Largy said.
This is the second shooting in Langley in two weeks, after the murder of Todd Gouwenberg, a man with years-long gang ties, on April 21.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation can call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. Anyone in the area is asked to review their dash camera footage to see if they have video of the events around the shooting.
