Man critically hurt in Surrey pre-dawn attack

SURREY, B.C. – A man has been rushed to hospital after an early-moning shooting in Metro Vancouver.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger says the man, in his late 20s, was shot several times in the upper body as he stepped out of his rental car.

The incident happened in a residential area of Surrey just before 7 a.m.

Investigators at the scene haven’t released the name of the victim but say he is well known to them and has links to the drug trade.

They also say the lone gunman fled in the man’s rental car, a blue, 2012 Hyundai Elantra with B.C. licence plate 147 PFM.

Two men died and another was critically wounded in separate gang-related shootings in Metro Vancouver, last month. (CKNW, News1130)
