The Abbotsford police were called at 7:42 a.m. about shots being fired at a home in the 2100-block of Holly Street.
Before officers arrived, the suspects had fled in a red sedan.
Investigators found no evidence anyone was injured, but believe the residence was targeted, said Sgt. Paul Walker in a news release.
Just before 8 a.m., a car was reported on fire at the closed Bradner rest stop along Highway 1.
“Officers arrived and learned from witnesses that individuals were seen running from what is believed to be the suspect vehicle,” said Walker.
The rest stop — which has been shuttered since an encampment was cleared in the summer — is cordoned off and there is “a significant police presence” in the area.
The Lower Mainland police dog service was called in and two men were found and arrested. They remain in custody.
Investigators think a third suspect is still on the lam and was last seen in the area of Hwy. 1 and Bradner Road.
Witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage is asked to contact Abbotsford police at 604-859-5225.
