Kitsilano shooting was targeted: police

Vancouver police say the city's latest shooting appears to be another targeted gang hit, after an unidentified 28-year-old man was shot and wounded Sunday night in Vancouver's normally quiet Kitsilano neighbourhood.

"We believe this is a targeted shooting. It has the earmarks of a gang shooting. But we are not making the definitive links just yet in the investigation," said Const. Jana McGuinness on Monday morning.

A witness told CBC News that two men exchanged eight to 12 gunshots in the parking lot of the IGA on Broadway near Arbutus Street at 11:05 p.m. PT.

One man fled the scene on foot, and the other was taken to hospital with gunshot wounds a short time later.

Police said the victim was in stable condition and was not co-operating with police. No arrests have been made.

The shooting was at least the sixth incident of gun violence in the Lower Mainland in a week. Police have confirmed at least three of the shootings were targeted attacks.
