REAL SCOOP: More Lower Mainland gun violence Tuesday

Abbotsford Police are investigating a shooting Tuesday evening that left two men with injuries.

Sgt. Judy Bird said in a news release that police got called about 6:20 p.m. about possible shots fired in the area of Countess Avenue and South Fraser Way.

A few minutes later, they got more calls about a two-vehicle collision at Peardonville Road and Clearborook Road.

Two men believed to have been shot and then involved in the crash were driven to hospital by a citizen who stopped to help.

“Both males remain in hospital where they are receiving treatment for their injuries,” Bird said.

 Two people in the vehicle that was struck received minor injuries and one remains in hospital for observation, she said.

 The Major Crime Unit of the Abbotsford Police Department is investigating.

The shooting comes less than 24 hours after a young man was killed in a targeted shooting in Surrey.

Karanpartap Waraich, 22, was hit as he drove in the 12900-block of 96 Avenue and crashed his vehicle into the golden arches of a McDonalds.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is now investigating.

“Mr. Waraich is known to police and evidence to this point suggests this was a targeted homicide,” S. Sgt. Jennifer Pound said. “There are many more investigative avenues that IHIT needs to concentrate on and we are looking to speak with any witnesses who may not have already come forward to police.  Thankfully, there were no other victims as a result of this brazen shooting.”

It’s been a violent couple of weeks with other shootings in Surrey, Abbotsford and south Vancouver.
