1 person injured in Surrey residential shooting: RCMP

The RCMP says one person has been injured after an alleged shooting in a residential neighborhood in South Surrey Monday morning.

The Surrey RCMP says it received multiple reports of shots fired near 139A street and 18B Avenue around 11:55 a.m.

Police attended the area and located evidence consistent with a shooting but no victim was found at the time.

Cpl. Vanessa Munn with the Surrey RCMP says the victim has since been located and is in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

She adds further investigation has shown the shooting appears to have been a targeted incident, and the victim is known to police as someone associated with the B.C. Gang Conflict.

Investigations are also taking place to determine if a vehicle that caught fire near 168 Street and 30A Avenue at 12:12 p.m. Monday is linked to the shooting.

“Although it is likely related to the shooting, further investigation is required to conclusively link to two incidents,” said Munn.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 604-599-0502.
