Surrey RCMP is investigating a shooting that occurred in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant in Whalley.
At approximately 7:39 p.m. on August 29, 2021 Surrey RCMP responded after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting a possible shooting in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant in the 12900-block of 96 Avenue.

Officers did not locate any injured parties, or any evidence that a person was injured in the shooting. Suspect and vehicle descriptions will not be released to the public at this time as the witness statement are still underway.

There are 5,356 active cases of COVID-19 in the province and 154,669 people who tested positive have recovered. Of the active cases, 139 individuals are in hospital and 75 are in intensive care.

25 religious leaders have issued a joint statement pointing to "overwhelming, undeniable scientific evidence" of vaccine protection as a fourth wave targets mostly unvaccinated people.
Both Alberta and Saskatchewan say that vaccination is the best, most effective route out of the pandemic and continue to urge residents who have not done so to get the two-jab protection.
Officers responded to an early morning call from the Salvation Army, where a man who appeared to be drunk was banging on windows and had reportedly been seen carrying a sword, the report said, noting interviews from civilian witnesses and paramedics.
It shows a man in his 20s arguing for several minutes with a group of people, who he appears to know. When a homeless man walked by the group, the suspect swatted him in the head, chased him down the sidewalk, pushed him to the ground, and repeatedly kicked him.
