  • Police say man suffers injuries during a robbery in Surrey

The BC RCMP has notified the Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIO BC) of an incident which has resulted in serious injuries to one man.

At approximately 2:11 a.m. the RCMP received report of a possible robbery in progress occurring near a business on the 15900-block of Fraser Highway in Surrey, where, the caller indicated, a man with a knife was attempting to rob people.

The responding officer pulled into a parking lot and as they were pulling up, the man allegedly produced a firearm and shot at the officer who was still seated in their police car.

The man then allegedly turned his gun on himself, suffering a serious injury. Emergency Health Services was contacted and the injured man was taken to the hospital.

The Surrey RCMP officer is not physically injured, however this was a disturbing and life-threatening incident, and they are receiving support.

IIO BC has taken over the investigation and are also determining whether police actions are linked to the man’s injuries.
