B-C's Integrated Homicide Team says officers have been deployed after a shooting in Langley this weekend.

It says Mounties responded to reports of shots fired around 6 P-M on Saturday in the area of 196th Street and 84th Avenue, and found two men suffering gun-shot wounds.

I-HIT says one of the victims died at the scene while the other man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to survive.

It says investigators believe the shooting was linked to gang conflict but is isolated and they're asking any witnesses to come forward.
