MAPLE RIDGE, B.C. — A shooting in Maple Ridge, B.C., has left one man dead.

Police say they found a 32-year-old man with gunshot wounds and sent him to hospital where he died as a result of his injuries.

Mounties say they cannot release the name of the victim because next of kin have not yet been contacted.

While the investigation is in its early stages, police say evidence suggests the shooting was targeted.
