A man was shot early Friday in Port Alberni in what is believed to be a targeted crime.
Police responded about 5:30 a.m. to a report of a shooting in a back alley beside 4th Avenue.
The victim was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries while officers contained the area and spoke to witnesses.
B.C. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Alex Bérubé said the investigation has so far included a police dog and forensic officers.
No arrests have been made, but police are looking for an older-model black Dodge pickup truck seen leaving the area at the time of the shooting.
Anyone with information, including surveillance or dashcam video, is asked to contact the Port Alberni RCMP at 250-723-2424.
