One man was sent to hospital after a targeted shooting near a Surrey elementary school.

RCMP officers were called to 76 Avenue near 124 Street around 6 p.m. Tuesday after receiving several reports of shots fired.

They arrived to find a 22-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim, who is known to police, was sent to Royal Columbian Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say some of the shots hit Strawberry Hill Elementary School and possibly a nearby house. The suspects fled before officers arrived. This is Surrey’s third shooting since Friday and police believe it was targeted.
