Mounties are searching for a suspect in what may have been an accidental shooting in Surrey’s Cloverdale neighbourhood Monday afternoon.
Officers were called to a home near 187th Street and 60A Avenue shortly after 4 p.m. with a report that man had unintentionally shot his friend in the leg.
A victim in his 20s was found suffering a gunshot wound and taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in stable condition.
“The victim is presently supplying limited details of the incident,” Surrey RCMP said in a statement. The detachment also described the shooting as “not random.”
Witnesses said they saw a suspect speed away from the scene on a dark-coloured, two-tone motorcycle.
He’s described as a white man in his early 30s with a slender build and light-coloured hair, and was seen wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt but no helmet.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Surrey RCMP detachment at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS if they wish to remain anonymous.
