According to an emailed statement from the Surrey RCMP, the incident occurred at approximately 10:45 pm on Monday. Police received reports of “possible shots” heard from the area of Hawthorne Park.

As front line officers made their way to the park, they also received reports of a man located at a bus stop near the park, who was suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.

The 25-year-old male was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Surrey RCMP’s General Investigation Unit has since taken conduct over the investigation and will remain in the area on Tuesday.
