Man seriously injured in Maple Ridge shooting; no arrests made

A 32-year-old man has been seriously injured in a shooting that prompted a large police response in Maple Ridge.

RCMP were called Tuesday evening after reports of gunfire outside a home near 216 Street and Lougheed Highway. Officers found the man with a gunshot wound and he was taken to hospital.

Police cleared several nearby properties during the response, including deploying a team for extreme-danger or firearms incidents. No arrests have been made.

Investigators say the incident may involve people known to each other, while gang or extortion connections appear unlikely.
