RCMP say further investigation has ruled out road rage as the reason for a late-night shooting in a townhouse parking lot in Surrey.
Police say a minor car crash between a light-coloured Jeep Wrangler and grey Toyota Sienna in a townhouse parking lot near 96th Avenue and Prince Charles Boulevard at 11:15 p.m. resulted in the driver of the Jeep pulling out a gun and firing into the Sienna.
The 17-year-old victim was driven to nearby Surrey Memorial Hospital, and he was later transferred to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster where he is in serious but stable condition.
