Surrey RCMP are investigating after a man was found  suffering from a gunshot wound Tuesday morning.

The man was found at 8:30 a.m. fleeing a home in the 12700-block of 104 Street.

RCMP officers were responding to a report of a disturbance at the home when they saw two men running away. One of the men was suffering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital.

Police now believe a third man fled before they arrived and he has not yet been found.

Officers are talking to witnesses in the area in order to develop a description of the man.
