RCMP say a man has been killed in a shooting at a gas station in Langley.

It happened around 9 p.m. Tuesday at a Chevron gas station just off Highway 1 on 232nd Street.

First responders found a man suffering from gunshot wounds near a vehicle.

"Unfortunately he died of his injuries," said RCMP Insp. Ben Rodrigue. "IHIT has been called out and also does not appear to be a random act ... there's no reason to believe right now that the public is at risk."

The case has been handed over to the Lower Mainland Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

Police would not say if anyone was arrested.
