ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Police in Abbotsford, B.C., are investigat­ing two separate shootings in just under three hours in that Fraser Valley city. The most recent occurred minutes after midnight on Monday when a home in the northeast corner of Abbotsford was hit by gunfire. No one was hurt and police say neighbours reported hearing a vehicle speeding away from the scene. Investigat­ors say they can’t rule out the possibilit­y that the shooting is linked to gunfire just two hours earlier, a few blocks to the south. In the Sunday night shooting, the occupants of two vehicles traded shots at an Abbotsford intersecti­on, but officers say no homes or vehicles were hit and there are no reports of injuries. Abbotsford police are urging anyone with details about either attack to come forward.
