BULLETS FIRED INTO SOUTH SURREY HOME AS HOUSE PARTY TURNS VIOLENT

RCMP Mounties say someone opened fired on a home in the 1700-block of King George Boulevard around 3:30 a.m.

Neighbours say they flew out of bed when they heard the gunshots, which sounded “like explosions.”

Just hours earlier a brawl broke out at the same house party.

Neighbours say a car was being driven erratically, smashing repeatedly into a gate.

Several hours later, someone returned to the home, spraying it with bullets.

An investigation is ongoing, and no one has been arrested.
