A quiet Burnaby neighbourhood was rocked by the sound of gunfire Saturday night at around 9: 45 p.m. – with a man shot multiple times inside his luxury vehicle.

Burnaby RCMP say a man was wounded in what they suspect was a targeted shooting. It is unclear if the victim was in his own driveway.

Investigators say officers dispatched to the corner of Smith Avenue and Price Street last night found a 39-year-old man who'd been shot.

They say the man was taken to hospital in serious condition.

Police say their initial investigation indicates it was a targeted shooting and that the general public is not at risk.

They also say they're looking for a beige-coloured sedan that was spotted leaving the area at about the same time.

No other details were immediately released.
