Security camera footage shows a shooter firing shots into South-Asian rapper AP Dhillon’s home in Colwood, a Victoria suburb, after lighting two vehicles on fire.
Another video is circulating, which appears to have been filmed by the shooter, who fired at least 14 shots into the front of the home, located on the 3300 block of Ravenwood Road.
West Shore RCMP were called to the scene at about 1:15 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 2.
“Police located two vehicles on fire and evidence that multiple shots had been fired at, and into, a residence,” said the West Shore RCMP in a news release. “Occupants of the residence were evacuated by police, and Colwood Fire extinguished the vehicle fires quickly, preventing further fire damage to the residence.”
In an Instagram post yesterday, Dhillon wrote, “I’m safe. My people are safe. Thank you to everyone who reached out. Your support means everything. Peace and love to all.”
West Shore RCMP has said that preliminary evidence suggests that the shooting was targeted, adding that there is no information to believe that the public is at risk.
Motorists with vehicle cameras, who were near Veterans Memorial Parkway, from Sooke Road to Bear Mountain Parkway, between midnight and 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 2, have been asked to call West Shore RCMP at 250- 474-2264.
