Abbotsford police are investigating a shooting near an Esso station in the 31700 block of South Fraser Way Tuesday night.
In a statement, Abbotsford Police Department Constable Judy Bird says a man in his 20s is injured.
The seriousness of his injuries is not known.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that at about 7:30 p.m Tuesday evening, a black SUV believed to be driven by the shooting victim was fired upon while in the Tim Horton’s drive-thru of an Esso station at 31755 S Fraser Way.
In an attempt to escape, the SUV is said to have rammed a Honda Civic in the drive-thru.
The occupants of the Civic were reportedly shaken, but unharmed.
The black SUV was later spotted parked outside the emergency entrance of the Abbotsford Regional Hospital, the driver having apparently managed to drive the vehicle while injured. Police seized the vehicle at the scene. Bullet holes were visible on the SUV, its windshield also shattered.
