Four suspects have been taken into custody by Surrey RCMP following a confirmed shooting in the Bridgeview area. On May 18, 2020 at approximately 3:30 pm, Surrey RCMP responded to reports of the sound of a gun shot coming from a residence in the 12900-block 111 Avenue.

Police contained the residence, arrested the occupants, and have confirmed that no one was injured as a result of the shooting. One person was taken to the hospital with a non-life threatening arm injury, believed to have been sustained during an altercation inside the residence.

This residence is known to police and the initial indications are that this shooting was a result of a dispute between parties known to one another. There is no indication of an on-going threat to public safety.

The Surrey RCMP General Investigation Unit has taken conduct of the investigation and the area will be cordoned off while the police investigation continues. Police will be in the area canvassing the neighbourhood for witnesses and surveillance videos.
