MISSION — Mounties in Mission say they’re investigating an incident of shots fired that happened early Friday morning (Apr. 5) near a sports park.
According to a statement from the detachment, Mission RCMP responded to multiple reports of gunshots heard in the vicinity of Mission Sports Park at approximately 1:15 a.m. early Friday. Police say officers attended the 31800 block of Kenney Avenue and found that a house, and multiple vehicles parked in a driveway, had been hit by bulletins. Police say no one was injured.
Just over three hours later, police say a dark SUV was subsequently located on fire on Barr Street just south of Richards Avenue. Police are investigating to determine whether the two events are linked.
“This type of gun violence is not often seen in Mission,” said Mission RCMP spokesperson Corporal Harrison Mohr. “We want to do everything possible to ensure that the person or persons responsible for this shooting are identified and held accountable for their actions.”
