A 17-year-old was seriously injured in what police believe was a targeted shooting in Tsawwassen Friday night.

According to a press release issued late Saturday morning, Delta police responded to a shooting in the 900-block of English Bluff Road near Fred Gingell Park at about 8:19 p.m. the evening of Sept.19.

Based on their preliminary investigation, police say the victim, who is not from Delta, was part of a group of high-school students from another Lower Mainland community who had stopped at the park as part of a party bus celebration.

The 17-year-old victim sustained serious injuries and was transported to hospital. Police say the youth is currently in stable condition.

Police say a newer model silver or grey Toyota Camry was observed fleeing the area following the incident.
