Mounties in Surrey say a man was shot and injured Tuesday night in the city’s Fleetwood neighbourhood.

The Surrey RCMP says officers received reports of shots fired just before 10:45 p.m. on Richardson Drive near 85 Avenue.

When they arrived, Mounties found a man with injuries “consistent with having been shot.”

“He was transported to local hospital for medical treatment,” police said. “There are no individuals in custody.”

Mounties say officers will be in the neighbourhood Wednesday canvassing and speaking with witnesses.

“The investigation is ongoing. This was a targeted incident involving a person who is well known to police,” Mounties added. “The victim has non-life threatening injuries and remain in hospital.”

Mounties believe the shooting is connected to the ongoing B.C. gang conflict.

Police are asking anyone with information about the incident, including dash cam footage, to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 and quote file #2024-42654
