"All indications are that this was a grow-rip that went bad," said Abbotsford Police Const. Casey Vinet. "There is no indication that this is connected to the shooting on Tuesday." At 1:45 a.m. Thursday, APD officers were called to a home in the 28200 block of Huntingdon Road near Bradner Road to find a man lying in the driveway, suffering a gunshot wound to the stomach. The victim, 42, was taken to the hospital and was expected to undergo surgery. A police dog team found two other men, also considered victims, on the property. Vinet said it seems the men had been tied up with zap straps in an outbuilding but managed to break free and escape. They were otherwise uninjured and are being questioned by police. A "very organized" marijuana grow operation was also found on the property, said Vinet. No arrests were made, but police are looking for at least two male suspects who wore masks at the time of the shooting. A red 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche stolen from the Huntingdon Road property was found by police in Surrey late yesterday morning. - --- MAP posted-by: Doug
