BURNABY RCMP’s Investigative Support Team (IST) is investigating a shots fired incident that took place in the City early Wednesday morning.
On July 1, just after 2:30 a.m., Burnaby RCMP responded to multiple reports of shots fired in the 4000-block of Hastings Street.
According to witnesses, a fight between a number of people occurred outside a business. Witnesses stated that multiple shots were fired at a vehicle in the area. Everyone involved then fled the area. No injuries have been reported in relation to this incident at this time.
