SURREY, B.C. — A man and woman are recovering in hospital after the latest targeted violence in Surrey, B.C.
A news release from Surrey RCMP says the victims were attacked at about 11:25 p.m. Monday in a home in the Cloverdale area.
Neighbours reported hearing gunshots and officers found a man in the house suffering from apparent gunshot wounds and a woman who had also been assaulted.
Investigators say the suspect had fled.
The victims and suspect are believed to know one another, and police say the victims are known to them, but officers have not linked the attack to any other recent violence in Surrey.
On Saturday, 47-year-old Paul Bennett was gunned down barely three kilometres away in what homicide investigators say was a targeted attack, and the bodies of two teens were found earlier this month at the side of a Cloverdale-area road following targeted slayings.
The Bennett homicide investigation remains active and ongoing. At this time IHIT has no new information to provide. We are committed to providing an update as soon as one is available.
