RCMP swarmed a White Rock neighbourhood early Thursday morning after a shooting that sent four people to hospital in serious condition.
Roper Avenue was taped off by police between Lee Street and Parker Street as police investigate. Between those streets, a black SUV crashed into a fence and tree. It remains unclear if it’s related to the shooting.
"I was awoken about 12:30 last night to a barrage just a huge barrage of gunfire. Sounded like some sort of machine gun if they have that,” said a neighbour who asked not to be identified due to fear.
“Then after that a pop pop pop pop pop. Got up had a quick look out the front door and saw a guy running down the street.”
A burnt-out vehicle was found on 196th and 28th in Langley which is about a 20-minute drive from the scene.
Few details have been provided by police, but investigators confirmed with CTV News the burned vehicle is connected to the shooting, which is believed to be targeted.
