SURREY, B.C. — Nine people have been arrested following what RCMP in Surrey, B.C., says is a targeted, early morning shooting.

A release from the detachment says no one was hit by gunfire, but one person was slightly hurt after being cut by broken glass.

The shooting happened just after 3 a.m. Monday, in the parking lot of a south Surrey hotel Pacific Inn on King George Boulevard.

According to police, a disagreement led to shots being fired between the occupants of two vehicles and both cars sped away.

Shots fired outside South Surrey hotel early this morning believed to be targeted. 9 arrested; 1 minor injury due to glass fragments.
