Two people have been killed in a triple shooting in Coquitlam

Two people have been killed, and a third person is injured after a shooting in Coquitlam on Wednesday evening.

Mounties were called to the area of Dawes Hill Road and Mundy Street around 7:45 pm after receiving multiple calls to 911 about a possible shooting.

When officers arrived, they found multiple shell casings and two unresponsive victims inside a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds.

Investigators think this incident is a targeted shooting connected to “ongoing lower mainland gang conflict.” They have identified one of the victims as 25-year-old Ramin Salam of Coquitlam.
