On December 8th, 2024, at 06:17 hours, AbbyPD Patrol Officers responded to the report of shots fired on a property in the 31500 Block of Harris Road.
The initial investigation has determined that a property owner arrived to find a man on
his property. An interaction occurred between the owner of the property and a male
suspect, resulting in the suspect discharging a firearm and fleeing on foot.
No one was
injured in this incident. The Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service, the Lower
Mainland District Emergency Response Team, and RCMP Air Services (Air One)
assisted with the initial response and subsequent search of the area; however, the
suspect remains outstanding.
The Abbotsford Police Major Crime Unit is in the early stages of the investigation and
believe this to be an isolated incident. It is also requested that residents and citizens in
the area remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Abbotsford Police
Department. The outstanding male suspect was last seen wearing a black hoody with a Quicksilver brand logo on the back, dark jeans and a light-coloured ball-cap.
Investigators seek witnesses and dashcam footage from those who may have been
travelling along Harris Road from Bates Road to Martin Way around this time. If you can assist, please call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225.
