A man was arrested on Christmas Eve after he shot another in Richmond.
Richmond RCMP and paramedics responded to the 8500 block of Greenfield Drive, near Francis and No. 3 roads, after receiving a call about a shooting around 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 24.
A man was sent to Vancouver General Hospital in “serious condition,” according to a B.C. Emergency Health Services (EHS) spokesperson.
The second man was arrested at the scene and taken into custody but has “subsequently been released,” according to Staff Sgt. Gene Hsieh, spokesperson of the Richmond RCMP Crime Unit.
The incident appeared to be “an issue between family members,” according to Hsieh.
“While the investigation is in its initial stages, this appears to be an issue between family members, and there is no danger to the public.”
Three ambulance vehicles, including an advanced life unit and a supervisor, were dispatched to the scene, an EHS spokesperson told the Richmond News.
