A woman injured in a mid-day shooting in North Vancouver is now on life support.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced it is taking over the case Tuesday, just hours after the woman was taken to hospital in critical condition after shots were fired near 12 Street and Lonsdale Avenue.

The woman’s name has not been released.

Mounties said there is no risk to the public following the incident, and the area will remain cordoned off for a while.

Correction: An earlier version of this story said the woman had died. Police have since corrected the provided information.
