SURREY (NEWS1130) – A man is dead and another injured after a gang-related shooting in Surrey. This marks the second murder of the year in that city and the third across the Lower Mainland.
It happened near 139th and 56th avenue around 11:30 last night. Two men, aged 27 and 28, were hit in the targeted shooting. Both were taken to hospital where one died; the other is in critical condition.
Many neighbours called News1130 early this morning to describe what they saw and heard. One woman tells us she heard six or seven shots.
“After that, we saw the cops come through into the yard with flashing lights, telling them to come out and freeze,” she says. “All of a sudden, we heard ‘gun shot wound to the head, in the car.’ The car was running in the driveway with the light on.We then saw cops running to the car with the dogs and one cop telling another that there was a gun shot wound to the head and it was in the car.”
She tells us the police came to her door.
“It’s pretty scary. They told us that we can’t come out and asked us how many shots we heard.”
Homicide investigators say one of the two victims are known to police, but they won’t say which one.
