      SURREY, B.C. — One of two suspects wanted after a shooting near a Surrey, B.C., elementary school has been arrested.
       
      A 22-year-old man was injured when shots were fired near Strawberry Hill Elementary on Sept. 15, leading to charges against two men though no arrests were made until Thursday.
       
      Police say one of the suspects was taken into custody after he and another man initially escaped when an RCMP officer tried to pull over a red Ford Mustang near a golf course.
