AP Dhillon Says He's Safe Following Reports of Gunshots at His Home Near Victoria, B.C.

Gunshots were fired into the home of Punjabi-Canadian musician AP Dhillon early Monday morning (September 2).

B.C. police are investigating the incident, with CTV News reporting that around 1:15 a.m. the RCMP was called to the house. There are reports of two vehicles set on fire, in addition to multiple gunshots, as well as reported video of the shooting circulating online.


"I'm safe. My people are safe," Dhillon shared on Instagram.


The Times of India reports that an associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the shooting on social media, threatening Dhillon for working with Salman Khan. The actor and producer Khan had a cameo appearance in the video for Dhillon's new Billboard Canadian Hot 100-charting single, "Old Money," and the gang reportedly has a history of targeting Khan.

"Preliminary investigation suggests that this was a targeted event and there is no information to believe that the general public is at any further risk as a result," says a statement from the West Shore RCMP detachment.

The gunfire follows Dhillon's recent major label signing with Republic Records, with "Old Money" marking the first release as part of that deal.

Per CTV, police are asking anyone with dash cam footage from Veteran’s Memorial Parkway between Sooke Road and Bear Mountain Parkway during the time of the incident to contact investigators at 250-474-2264.
