Birthday party interrupted by gunfire

Two men are fighting for their lives in hospital and two others are also injured after a shooting in Richmond last night.
 
RCMP Inspector Bryon Massie says shots rang out inside the Riverside Banquet Hall on River Road around nine p-m.
 
Massie says two men have critical or life threatening injuries. Two other men are also wounded.
 
When asked if police are hunting for a suspect, Massie said, “I don’t believe thay are but again, the investigation is just in the very early stages. So in order to know who you are looking for, you have to interview witnesses and even the victims themselves. So then we will go from there to start looking for anybody.”

Massie called the shooting, “targeted,” but added it was not related to several recent shootings in Surrey. He says up to 100 people may have been in the hall at the time.
