3 Dead After Gunshots, Fires Reported in Maple Ridge

MAPLE RIDGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 24 – Three people died and a vehicle was set on fire following multiple gunshots in a residential area, with police and the Independent Investigations Office of BC leading the probe.

  • Three people died in a Maple Ridge, B.C. police incident involving gunshots and vehicle fires on July 23-24, 2025.
  • The incident arose from a prolonged conflict between a man and an elderly couple living in the same neighborhood, with multiple reports of threats made to the authorities over time.
  • Police responded multiple times to a neighbourhood dispute and found two bodies inside a home and one man dead of an apparent self-inflicted injury in a neighbouring home.
  • Bruce Fairweather, a nearby resident, described vehicles as "totally engulfed" in flames and said the woman had texted him about an alleged death threat before the violence occurred.
  • British Columbia's police watchdog is investigating whether police actions or inactions before the event could have prevented the deaths.
