Although most shootings in Metro Vancouver involve police arriving at a scene after shootings have taken place, a shooting that took place last night involved gunfire allegedly aimed at police. 

Investigators are now searching for the suspect, as well as as possible witness of the shooting.

Around 8:55 p.m. on September 10, a Surrey RCMP officer attempted to stop a black sedan (pictured above) heading westbound on 82^nd Avenue just past 128^th Street in Newton.

When the officer turned on emergency lights, the sedan driver fired two gunshots of their vehicle window at the officer, according to Surrey RCMP.

The officer pursued the sedan for a short distance before pulling over, in order to prevent further risk to the public.

The officer did not sustain any injuries in this incident.  

Anyone who sees the suspect vehicle is urged not to approach it, and should call 911 immediately—the driver is considered to be armed and dangerous.

Today (September 11), Surrey RCMP released an image from surveillance video of a vehicle with a driver who may have been a witness of the incident (the driver of this vehicle is not a suspect in this incident).

This vehicle is described as a dark-coloured SUV and was heading eastbound at the intersection of 82nd Avenue and 128th Street around 8:55 p.m. on September 10.

Investigators are seeking to speak with the driver of this second vehicle.

Anyone who witnessed, has dashcam footage of, or has information about this incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
