Richmond RCMP is investigating a suspected incident of road rage that ended in one man being shot at.
Just before 6:15 p.m. Friday (June 28), Mounties were called to the 5500-block of Hollybridge Way for reports of shots fired.
Richmond RCMP say the victim was driving his white Mercedes van near Alderbridge Way and No. 3 Road when he was cut off by a white Kia. The Mercedes driver pulled up next to the Kia at the intersection of Alderbridge Way and Lansdowne Road and shouted at the driver.
According to the victim, police said in the news release, the passenger in the Kia responded by allegedly shooting at him with a gun. The Kia then drove away and was last seen travelling eastbound on Lansdowne Road.
Richmond RCMP found evidence consistent with a shooting.
The man wasn't hit by any bullets, but he was injured from the shattered glass on his driver-side window.
Insp. Michael Cohee said Richmond RCMP will "go to every length possible" to identify the suspect in the shooting.
