Another overnight shooting in Surrey

Dec 19 2017, 10:49 pm

There are reports of yet another overnight targeted shooting in Surrey, despite yesterday’s pleas by RCMP for the drug turf war to come to an end.

Gunshots rang out on 66th Avenue near 128th Street at 1 a.m. this morning, Global News reports. There were many shots fired and a vehicle chase between suspects was involved, but there are no reports of injuries.

Police are investigating the incident, which pushes the number of shootings in Surrey and Delta to 20 incidents since mid-March.

During Monday’s press conference on the turf war, RCMP said the shootings are between South Asian and Somalian groups. It began on March 10 when a 20-year-old male was dropped off at a hospital with gunshot wounds, starting a string of six shootings in three days.

Police have been unable to stop the shootings as the victims of the targeted incidents have refused to cooperate with investigators, opting to instead ‘resolve’ the conflict with further violence. They have reached to the Sikh and Somali community leaders for support with their investigation.
