Mounties did not immediately say if the shooting was linked to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
Police have been dealing with a deadly flare up of violence between regional gangs, including a string of shootings over about a month which have left six people dead.
The most recent of those killings came just days ago, in Langley.
On Saturday, it was revealed that a Surrey RCMP officer was arrested and is facing possible criminal charges after being caught in a vehicle with known gang affiliates.
Anyone with information on the latest shooting is asked to call Langley RCMP or Crime Stoppers if they wish to remain anonymous.
