YET another shooting in the Lower Mainland!
Langley RCMP responded to a report of shots fired last night around 7:30 p.m.
Officers attended the 7000 block of 196A avenue after several callers reported hearing shots fired in the area. Two young men, aged 25 and 26, believed to be the intended targets, were not injured.
A Dodge Durango was left at the scene and a white SUV was reported to have fled. Ten minutes later Surrey RCMP attended a vehicle fire in the 7300-block of 182 Street. Both vehicles have been seized.
