Police in Surrey say they're investigating an early-morning shooting in Newton that left a home damaged by gunfire.

The Surrey Police Service says they got multiple calls about shots fired just after 3 a-m yesterday in the Newton area near the intersection of 142 Street and 72nd Ave.

Police say callers also reported hearing a vehicle speeding away from the scene.

Surrey officers say no one was injured in the shooting and the vehicle was described as a light-coloured sedan, and investigators temporarily shut down 72nd Avenue during their search for evidence.
