      SURREY, B.C. — One of two suspects wanted after a shooting near a Surrey, B.C., elementary school has been arrested.

      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.
