A man is dead and two others are injured following a shooting tonight (Thursday) along Gladwin Road in south Abbotsford.

The incident took place at about 6 p.m. just south of Huntingdon Road near South Poplar Elementary.

One man was found dead at the scene when police arrived.

Witnesses indicated they heard 10 to 15 shots and saw two dark-coloured vehicles fleeing the scene. One, an Audi, is believed to have transported another shooting victim to the hospital.

The Audi, riddled with bullet holes, was found abandoned on Pandora Avenue in Abbotsford.
