Mounties are investigating after a shooting left a man in critical condition in Surrey, B.C. Friday night.
Cpl. Holly Marks said police received several 911 calls at around 9:30 p.m. about shots fired in the 10100-block of 144th Street.
Officers arrived to find a man in his late 20s or early 30s suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to hospital with critical injuries; his condition is unknown.
The victim, who has not been identified, has known gang affiliations, Marks said.
A number of suspects were seen leaving the scene, but none has been identified or located.
Investigators have not confirmed if the shooting was targeted, but said they will be conducting a thorough investigation.
"We absolutely are committed to investigating this and to try and keep this community and other communities around the Lower Mainland safe," Marks said.
Anyone with information can contact the Surrey RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
Separate shooting blocks away
A few hours later, another man was found shot in the leg a few blocks away near the intersection of 144th Street and 88th Avenue.
Police say he had been in a nearby house, which is alleged to be an after hours club.
Investigators do not believe the shootings are linked.
