BURNABY, B.C. – Police in Metro Vancouver say they’re investigating a shooting that injured a 71-year-old man on Saturday.
A statement from Burnaby RCMP says officers found the victim in a wooded area near Highway 1 and Willingdon Avenue, where the man was apparently living.
While the man’s injuries appear serious, police say he was in stable condition after being taken to hospital for treatment.

The Mounties say the shooting is believed to have been isolated.
They say officers were called to the area at about 10:15 p.m.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP detachment.
Ministry of Transportation and Transit issued an advisory Sunday night, saying that due to the investigation, the slow lane and shoulder of Highway 1 westbound at Willingdon Avenue remains closed and may remain that way into Monday morning.
