MISSION RCMP said on Friday that around 1:15 a.m. on April 5, they responded to multiple reports of gunshots heard near the Mission Sports Park.
Officers attended the 31800-block of Kenney Avenue and found that a house and multiple vehicles parked in its driveway, had been struck by bullets. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Around 4:45 a.m., a dark SUV was located on fire on Barr Street, just south of Richards Avenue. Police are looking into whether it was involved in the shooting.
“This type of gun violence is not often seen in Mission,” said Cpl. Harrison Mohr with Mission RCMP. “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.”
Although the motive for the shooting is yet unknown, there is no indication that anyone else is at risk, police said.
If you have information that could help investigators with the shooting, or the burning of the SUV, you are requested to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.
