MISSION — Mission RCMP say a 41-year-old man has suffered serious injuries after being reportedly shot in the parking lot of Real Canadian Superstore (32136 Lougheed Highway) in Mission.
According to a news release from Constable Harrison Mohr, media relations spokesperson for the detachment, Mission RCMP were dispatched for a report of multiple gunshots fired at a vehicle at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 6. Constable Mohr says officers arrived to find a man with multiple gunshot wounds located inside a parked vehicle. The man was transported to hospital, and the extent of his injuries are not known to police at this time.
“Initial indications are that this was a targeted shooting,” Cst. Mohr said in a statement. “Our serious crime unit is handling this case, and we will likely have more information available in the coming days. Witnesses describe a vehicle fleeing from the scene, however we are still working to confirm a description. If you have information that could assist in this investigation, or you saw a vehicle speeding away from the area of the Mission Superstore around 7:30 p.m., please call Mission RCMP as soon as possible.”
Police say there is no indication of any ongoing risk to the public. The entire parking lot of Superstore will be closed for the remainder of the night, and possibly for part of the morning of Thursday, December 7, so that investigators can process the large crime scene. Anyone with information should call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.
