A road rage incident in Richmond over the weekend led to one driver being shot at.
Police responded the 5500 block of Hollybridge Way for a report of shots fired on June 28th just before 6:15pm. The victim says he was driving his white Mercedes van near Alderbridge Way and No. 3 Road when he was cut off by a White Kia.
“The victim advised he pulled next to the vehicle at the intersection of Alderbrige Way and Lansdowne Road and shouted at the driver,” said police in a release.
The passenger in the Kia responded by allegedly “shooting at him with a gun” before travelling Eastbound on Lansdowne Road. The driver of the van was not hit by any bullets, but suffered injuries from shattered glass.
“This was a reckless and brazen act which could have caused serious injury or worse to the victim or any pedestrian or motorist in the area,” said Inspector Michael Cohee. “We will go to every length possible to identify those involved in this grievous criminal act. We are asking anyone that was in the area at the time of the shooting to contact us.”
Witnesses and anyone with dash cam footage who was travelling in the area between 6pm and 6:30pm on June 28 is asked to call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2024-20250.
