A man is in custody and Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating after shots were fired in the busy Whalley neighbourhood this afternoon. The incident began at approximately 3:13 pm, when officers nearby reported gunfire near the Gateway Skytrain Station at University Drive and 108 Avenue.
No injuries to the public or police were reported. The suspect fled the scene but was quickly located at the SPS District 1 Community Police Office, where additional shots were allegedly fired. Officers from the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Service assisted Surrey Police in safely apprehending the suspect.
For safety, the SPS District 1 office was temporarily closed while the RCMP Explosive Disposal Unit examined a bag left behind by the suspect. The bag contained nothing suspicious, and officers continue to collect evidence at the scene. Significant road and sidewalk closures in the area are expected to remain throughout the evening.
