Shooting in Port Coquitlam sends 1 man to hospital

VANCOUVER – Police are on scene in Port Coquitlam investigating a shooting this morning.

They arrived at a quiet residential neighbourhood, at Cambridge Street and Manning Avenue, just after 5 a.m. and are now searching for evidence.

One man was found to be suffering from a gunshot wound and was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

There are about eight police cars on scene and officers have taped off some streets.

They also told Global News the house where they believe the incident originated from is a rental property, but they have not seen any issues at the home before.
