Officers with the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) were called out to Surrey after a police incident early Thursday morning.
Surrey RCMP would only confirm with Global News that a police incident took place near 120 St. and 100th Ave., but they are not commenting as to the nature of it.
But the IIO confirmed on Twitter it’s an officer involved shooting.
The IIO says Surrey RCMP officers were called to the 12000-block of 100th Avenue at 7 a.m for a report that a woman had been stabbed.
Police report that upon arrival, there was an interaction between an officer and a man with a knife. That man was eventually shot.
He was taken to hospital and is in stable condition; the woman is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
IIO investigators have been deployed to the scene, but Surrey RCMP Major Crime Unit is responsible for any concurrent investigation.
The focus of the IIO investigation is to determine if any officers may have committed an offence.
Any potential witnesses are asked to call the IIO at 1-855-446-8477.
