Summary
- Ammy Virk's vehicle was shot at post-concert in Abbotsford.
- Seven to ten bullets struck the bulletproof vehicle unharmed.
- Police are investigating the incident as a targeted attack.
Punjabi singer and actor Ammy Virk emerged unscathed following a shooting incident involving a vehicle associated with his concert convoy in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The event took place on September 5, 2026, after his performance at Rogers Forum. Multiple shots were fired at the vehicle on McCallum Road, with approximately seven to ten bullets striking the reportedly bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The vehicle's integrity ensured the safety of all occupants.
Authorities are currently investigating the shooting as a possible targeted attack. This incident brings attention to Ammy Virk's established career, which began with significant family support. His father notably made financial sacrifices, selling a Maruti Zen and taking out a loan to fund Virk's first album, amounting to approximately Rs 5 lakh.
Virk has since repaid family debts, estimated to be around Rs 30-40 lakh, and invested in his family's comfort. He constructed a new house in their village, beginning in 2012 and extensively worked on from 2013 to 2015, incorporating luxurious features like Italian marble and costly shower systems. The family's living conditions have drastically improved from their past, with their new home featuring nine air conditioners and a home theatre.
