Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 10 Jul, 2024 12:02 PM

Police say they're investigating after a man turned up at the Surrey Memorial Hospital to receive treatment for minor gunshot injuries.

R-C-M-P say officers were in the middle of responding to shots-fired reports along 66 Avenue near 127 Street when the man showed up at the hospital.

They say police spoke to the man and found evidence of a shooting in the driveway of a home, but the victim has not been co-operating with investigators.

The Mounties say the victim is known to them, they believe the shooting was targeted, and anyone with information is asked to call police.
