A vehicle linked to the concert convoy of prominent Punjabi singer and actor Ammy Virk was reportedly targeted in a shooting incident in Abbotsford, British Columbia, shortly after his performance at Rogers Forum. The event, which occurred on a Saturday night, saw a dark-coloured SUV allegedly open fire on a Rolls-Royce Cullinan associated with Virk's entourage.

Approximately seven rounds were reportedly discharged at the luxury vehicle. Organisers cited in reports indicated that Ammy Virk was present inside the car at the time of the shooting. However, Abbotsford Police have not publicly confirmed the identities of any individuals within the vehicle, citing privacy considerations. No injuries have been reported following the incident, as the vehicle was reportedly bulletproof, preventing the shots from penetrating its interior.

In a development that introduces a conflicting narrative, Kuljit Singh, Ammy Virk's father, has issued a statement denying that his son was specifically targeted or faced any danger during the incident. This contradicts initial reports suggesting a deliberate attack on the concert entourage.

Police have described the shooting as appearing to be targeted, though the motive behind the attack remains unclear. No arrests have been announced in connection with the incident. Investigators are also examining a separate discovery made shortly after the shooting: a vehicle found engulfed in flames approximately five kilometres away from the scene. Authorities are working to determine if there is any connection between the two events.

The shooting took place amidst Ammy Virk's ongoing 2026 Unity Tour across Canada, bringing international attention to the safety of touring artists.
