Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating a shooting incident that took place last night in the Surrey Central area of the city.

At approximately 9:42 pm on November 2,  SPS Frontline officers responded to a report of shots fired in the 9000 block of Snowdon Place. At this location officers found evidence of a shooting and signs of injury, but no suspects or victim were on scene. Other SPS Frontline members attended the hospital and located a male suffering from a gunshot wound. That 22-year-old man remains in hospital in critical condition.

SPS’ Major Crime Unit has assumed conduct of the investigation.

Despite the investigation being in the early stages, there is no indication that it is extortion related.

SPS investigators are requesting that anyone with information concerning the shooting, or who were in the area at the time and have dashcam or CCTV footage, to contact Surrey Police Service’s non-emergency 604-599-0502 and quote file number 26-119173 (SP).
