Victim seriously injured after targeted early morning shooting downtown Chilliwack
Police on scene at Princess and Williams Friday morning, officers going door-to-door looking for witnesses
Chilliwack RCMP officers were knocking on doors on Princess Avenue and Williams Street Friday (March 21, 2025) morning looking to speak to witnesses after an early morning.
Mounties say a male suffering from serious injuries was transported to hospital after the incident shortly before 1 a.m.
Police tape surrounded one specific property Friday, a dilapidated single family house with a unique monkey puzzle tree on the front lawn on the northwest corner of the intersection, 46197 Princess Ave.
Chilliwack RCMP general duty and police dog services responded to the report of shots fired just before 1 a.m. and initial indications suggested it was a targeted incident.

Chilliwack RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit is leading the investigation and police reported there will likely be a continued police presence in the area for much of the day.
At 10:30 a.m. two officers were out front of the house, one in a cruiser nearby, and two in plainclothes with jackets marked "police" were knocking on doors of nearby homes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS to remain anonymous.
