Police are investigating what it believed to be a targeted shooting in North Delta Monday morning (Jan. 20).
At 7:18 a.m., Delta police responded to a reported shooting in the 8100-block of 112B Street.
Officers located a man injured in the shooting, who was subsequently transported to hospital for treatment.
Police say a white Ford truck was seen leaving the area following the shooting.
Shortly after the shooting, at 7:26 a.m., police were called to a reported vehicle fire in the 7300-block of Blake Drive, where officers found a fully-engulfed white Ford pickup truck.
"While we wait to confirm connection between these incidents, our investigators do believe the burning truck is involved in the shooting investigation," the DPD said in a press release.
Police believe the shooting to be a targeted incident and not directed at the general public, noting it and the burning truck bear the hallmarks of other shootings tied to the B.C. gang conflict.
DPD officers will be conducting door-to-door canvassing today in the areas of both incidents, and 112B Street is temporarily closed between 81st and 81A avenues.
Anyone with information regarding either of these incidents, or who has CCTV or dash camera footage taken in the area 鈥� especially video of a white Ford pickup truck in the area prior to the shooting 鈥� is asked to contact the Delta Police Department at 604-940-7321 or email tips@deltapolice.ca.
