Just after 9:30 p.m. on Friday, March 6th, West Shore RCMP responded to reports of a shooting outdoors near the 800 block of Arncote Ave in Langford.

“We believe this was an isolated crime and there is no on-going risk [to] the public,” said Inspector Todd Preston in a statement.
The investigation into this incident has been taken over by the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) and BC Coroners Service.
