No suspects have been brought into police custody following a shooting that shook the community of Lynn Valley last week.
At around 2 a.m. Friday (Sept. 6), North Vancouver RCMP received calls of numerous shots ringing out and the sound of a vehicle driving away from the 700 block of East 29th Street. Upon arrival, police found a man in his 50s who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting victim, a North Vancouver resident, was rushed to hospital in serious condition but is expected to survive, said Const. Mansoor Sahak, spokesperson for North Vancouver RCMP. The shooting was targeted, he added. “The victim has history with the police and the B.C. gang conflict,” Sahak said. But the suspect is still at large, and their identity is unknown to investigators, he said. “The active investigation is ongoing and is being conducted by the North Vancouver RCMP Investigative Services Section,” Sahak said. While it was dangerous to anyone near the location of the shooting at the time, police don’t believe there’s any ongoing risk to the public in the area, he said. Continued on A28
