People around the quiet neighbourhood report hearing several gunshots and a car racing away around that time. Police say they’re now looking for a vehicle that may be associated.

“That’s the scary part, it’s right beside me,” says Ryan who just moved into the neighbourhood. “I heard seven or eight gunshots go off. I was very surprised. I didn’t know what it was at first, then I ran outside and saw the whole neighbourhood lit up with cops.”

“The initial investigation has revealed that one vehicle, a light coloured mini van, was seen departing the area,” reads a release by Surrey RCMP. “The vehicle was last seen driving east on 64th Avenue from 166 Street.”
