  • Four Surrey, B.C., shootings within two days likely targeted: RCMP

SURREY, B.C. — Mounties in Surrey, B.C., say three men have been wounded in at least four shootings within two days.

Officers believe the victims — all men in their 20s who are known to police — were targeted, and say at least three of the shootings appear to be linked.

RCMP say it began at about 4 a.m. Tuesday, when a wounded 20-year-old man was dropped off at the hospital in Surrey.

Just over 12 hours later, Mounties seized an apparently abandoned vehicle that may have been involved in the shooting.

An hour later, police say a second 20-year-old man was taken to hospital with gunshot wounds before officers were called to another area of the city where shots were fired before several vehicles fled the scene.

Police say the most recent incident happened just before midnight Wednesday, when a 28-year-old man was found lying in the street with a gunshot wound to his lower body.
