Abbotsford Police responded to a shots fired call Monday morning and found a young man fatally wounded. And minutes later they took three men into custody.
Const. Ian MacDonald said the shooting happened about 9:40 a.m. in the 30500-block of Steelhead Court.
“APD Patrol Division officers attended the scene and located an injured male in his mid-20’s who was suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, the victim was pronounced dead at scene prior to transport to the hospital,” MacDonald said in a news release.
“An APD officer observed a suspect vehicle fleeing the area at a high rate of speed. That officer followed the suspect vehicle and attempted to pull it over on Highway 11 and eventually into Mission. The suspect vehicle was disabled with the use of a spike belt and the assistance of the Mission RCMP. Three male suspects have been taken into custody.”
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called in and has tweeted out that they won’t have an update today.
