Surrey shooting had schools on lock-down

Surrey RCMP is investigating a shooting in the 12700-block of 67B Avenue that left area schools on lock-down Monday.

Cpl. Scotty Schumann said officers responded to a call about possible shots being fired at a residence about 11:40 a.m. “Officers attended and located numerous shell casings near a residence in that area. No victims were located,” he said. “Officers are speaking to residents and possible witnesses in that area to gather further information.”

He said schools in the area were locked out for a brief period.

“The investigation is still in its early stages, however, it is still unknown whether this incident is related to the city’s ongoing conflicts between those involved in the drug trade. More information will be released if and when it becomes available,” Schumann said.

Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or http://www.solvecrime.ca.
