Officers say witnesses saw a silver vehicle leaving an area in the municipality south of Vancouver.

About three hours later, police responded to reports of shots being fired at a home just blocks away.

Delta Police say no one was inside at the time, but a man who is known to police and used to live in the area is believed to have been targeted.
