2 men found dead in Abbotsford

Two men were found dead and a house was hit with a bullet in three separate incidents in Abbotsford, B.C., east of Vancouver, overnight Monday.

In the first incident, a man was found slumped over the wheel of his vehicle near the intersection of Bateman Road and Latimer Street, around 10:30 p.m. PT by Abbotsford police, Const. Roger Gosal confirmed Monday night.

The man was shot through the passenger side window in what appeared to be a targeted hit, according to Gosal. It was the 18th fatal shooting in the Lower Mainland since mid-January. Police did not release the victim's name.

In the second incident, a man was found dead in a field on the 39000 block of No. 3 Road in Abbotsford, police confirmed Tuesday morning. The victim's name was not released in that case either.

The third case was a drive-by shooting in which someone fired a shot at a home near the Abbotsford side of the Mission Bridge. Nobody was hit, according to police.

Police said it is too early to link any of the shootings to gangs or drugs. They are expected to release more information later today.
