It has been a busy 12 hours for police across Metro Vancouver, with two targeted shootings.
The latest incident occurred in Surrey, where a man was shot inside a convenience store.
It happened around 11 p.m. on Tuesday night at the Mac’s Store near 152 Street and 100 Avenue in Guildford.
Mounties say two men arrived in the same vehicle before having some sort of confrontation inside the store. One man was shot and the other fled on foot. The victim was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in stable condition, and police towed the vehicle away from the scene.
The victim underwent surgery last night and is expected to be okay. The man is cooperating with investigators and police hope to make arrest soon.
Meanwhile, RCMP in Burnaby are also searching for a suspect after a brazen daylight shooting inside a busy restaurant.
Police say shots rang out at the Cactus Club on Kingsway shortly before 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
A man in his early 30s was hit and rushed to hospital, but his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
The suspect fled on foot and no arrests have been made.
RCMP say the shooting was targeted, but can’t say whether the two incidents are connected.
Officers also say it’s lucky no other diners were injured in the chaos.
