Shooting Incident – English Bluff Road, Delta 

Delta, BC – On September 19, at approximately 8:19 PM, the Delta Police Department (DPD) responded to a shooting in the 900 block of English Bluff Road near Fred Gingell Park. A 17-year-old youth sustained serious injuries in what investigators believe to be a targeted incident. The victim was transported to hospital and is currently in stable condition.

Preliminary investigation indicates the youth, who is not from Delta, was part of a group of high school students from another Lower Mainland community. The group had stopped at Fred Gingell Park as part of a party bus celebration. A newer model silver or grey Toyota Camry was observed fleeing the area following the incident.

DPD officers will be conducting door-to-door canvassing in the vicinity of the shooting. Investigators are seeking any information or video footage involving a silver or grey Toyota Camry in the area around the time of the incident.

Anyone with information, CCTV footage, or dash camera video is asked to contact the Delta Police Department at 604-946-4444 or via email at [email protected].
