Surrey RCMP are investigating three shootings that occurred within 24 hours of each other this weekend.
The first, which was initially thought to have occurred around 6 p.m. Saturday night, actually took place approximately 12 hours prior.
“No one thought to report it to us till around 6 p.m. [Saturday],” said Sgt. Murray Hedderson
Police cordoned off 30 Avenue between 148 Street and 147A when it was reported to them.
A series of cones in the middle of 30 Avenue blocked off bullet casings and close to a dozen officers shone flashlights at, and searched the yard of, a home on the north side of 30 Avenue.
