Targeted shooting leaves one dead, says Chilliwack, B.C., police

CHILLIWACK, B.C. – A woman is dead and a man has been critically injured following a shooting in the Fraser Valley Friday evening

RCMP say shots were fired in a rural area east of Chilliwack’s city centre shortly before 8 p.m.

Police say two victims were found at the scene with gunshot wounds.

A 52-year-old woman died of her injuries while a 23-year-old man was taken to hospital with injuries police describe as life threatening.

Cpl. Meghan Foster says the incident appears to be a targeted shooting, not a random act of violence.

Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said the victim who died was a man.
