Drive-by shot pierces home

An Abbotsford family huddled in fear during a drive-by shooting Saturday night.

One of the bullets pierced the Gill family's living room on the 27600 block of Signal Court.

Ishvir Gill was home with his grandfather when he heard the shots.

“I was scared. I thought they were aiming for someone,” he told CTV. “I was rolled up into a ball next to the wall."

Just a night before, his grandmother had slept near where the bullet came into the house.

“I was really emotional about that,” Gill said. “What if my grandma stayed one more night?”

Security video from a neighbour shows a van parked outside the Gill’s home before it drives off.

Shell casings were found outside.

“At this time, we are unsure what the motive was,” said Abbotsford Police Sgt. Judy Bird.

Police canvassed the neighbourhood, and the Major Crime Unit has taken over the investigation.
