‘Bad Newz’ actor and Punjabi singer Ammy Virk was reportedly caught in a shooting incident in Canada shortly after wrapping up his concert in Abbotsford, British Columbia, on the night of September 5. A vehicle believed to be part of his convoy was allegedly fired upon, though no one was hurt in the incident.
What happened that night
Ammy Virk had just finished performing at Rogers Forum in Abbotsford when he reportedly left the venue with his convoy around 11 pm. According to the Voice Online report, occupants of a dark-coloured SUV opened fire on a vehicle in the convoy in the 2500-block of McCallum Road, with accounts suggesting anywhere between seven and ten shots were fired. The bullets are said to have struck the rear window of the car, but all occupants, including the singer, reportedly escaped unharmed.
