SURREY, B.C. — British Columbia's police watchdog is investigating a shooting in Surrey involving transit police.
The Independent Investigations Office says the incident took place just after 8 a.m. (near King George Boulevard and 104th Avenue).
The agency says there were reports of a man stabbing himself in a store.
It says the man took off when transit police approached, but officers tracked him down and shots were fired.
He was taken to hospital but his condition isn't known at this time.
Sexual assault allegations against former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi have sparked a national conversation about how to facilitate the reporting of such incidents, but some advocates say the focus should instead be on prevention.
