Punjabi singer and actor Ammy Virk’s convoy was reportedly attacked after a concert in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Shots were fired at a car believed to be a part of Virk’s convoy. No one was injured.
Police have not confirmed a link between two incidents. The shooting reportedly occurred as Virk was leaving the concert venue late that night. “It was shot at by occupants of another vehicle. Preliminary information indicates that individuals in a dark-coloured SUV fired multiple shots at the victim vehicle,” the Abbotsford Police wrote in a post on X. Upon arrival, officers found an SUV fully engulfed in flames. The AbbyPD Major Crime Unit has assumed conduct of the investigation and is working to determine the motive for the shooting and whether the vehicle fire is connected to the incident,” the police added. The local media, however, claims that the targeted vehicle was part of Virk’s convoy. Some reports also claim that the vehicle was bulletproof and that Virk and the show’s promoter were inside at the time. One report identifies the car as a Rolls-Royce. Reports indicate that around seven rounds were fired during the incident. Police have appealed to the public to come forward with any information regarding the incident or dashcam footage from the McCallum Road area. Singh clarified that no shots were fired at his son and claimed that the shooting targeted the convoy of the show’s organisers.
Ammy Virk performed at Rogers Forum in Abbotsford on September 5. A vehicle travelling in the 2500 block of McCallum Road was targeted on September 5, just after 11 pm, according to Abbotsford Police. “Shortly after the shooting, AbbyPD officers responded to a report of a vehicle fire in the 2400 block of Sunnyside Place.
