Police are investigating a daylight shooting in Surrey, B.C., that left a man seriously injured Friday.
Authorities said they responded to a report of gunfire near the busy intersection of Scott Road and 84 Avenue shortly after 1:30 p.m.
“Our front-line members attended the area and located a male who had suffered from gunshot wounds,” said Const. Parmbir Kahlon, a media relations officer with the Surrey RCMP. “He was transported to the hospital for his injuries.”
CTV News spoke with a construction worker who witnessed the shooting. He said he hid behind the light pole he was working on when he heard the initial four gunshots.
“I turned around and saw a few more shots fired and then a vehicle took off westbound on 84 Avenue through the intersection on 120th,” said the man, who did not want to be identified.
Approximately 30 minutes after the shooting, Surrey RCMP also responded to a vehicle fire across the city, near 179 Street and 99A Avenue.
Kahlon said it was not yet clear whether the two instances were connected.
