SURREY, B.C. — One man has died and another is injured after what RCMP in Surrey, B.C., say appears to be a targeted knife attack.

Police say they were called to Surrey's Guildford neighbourhood late Monday afternoon for a report of a stabbing.

One victim was rushed to hospital and the RCMP news release says a second injured man was dropped at a local hospital a short time later.
