Surrey RCMP says a 17-year-old was the target of a shooting in the city early Wednesday morning.
Police confirmed shots were fired at a home in the 11200-block of Lansdowne Drive at 3:17 a.m.
The teen is known to police, Mounties confirmed, and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. They were taken to the hospital and have since been released, police said.
The investigation is in the early stages, but all indications are that it was targeted, RCMP said in a release.
The shooting does not appear to be linked to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
“Anytime there is a shooting it is very concerning,” Surrey RCMP media relations officer, Const. Gurvinder Ghag said in a release.
“There were multiple people inside the residence who were placed at risk as a result of this targeted shooting, thankfully no one was seriously injured.”
