Parts of Canada Way were closed Thursday morning as Burnaby RCMP investigated a shooting they say wasn't random.

Several shots were fired at a black BMW parked outside a Chinese food restaurant on Canada Way near Sperling Avenue late Wednesday night, according to other media reports.

No one was in the car at the time of the shooting and no injuries have been reported. The BMW and a second vehicle, however, were both damaged by gunfire, and police are speaking with the owner of the BMW to determine the motive behind the shooting, the reports added.

"It is a targeted event and it's not a random act," Insp. Davy Lee told Global News. "The current situation is that we're still interviewing all the owners of the vehicles and trying to make a determination as to what has occurred (Wednesday night)."
