Fatal Surrey shooting believed to be targeted
One man is dead and another is wounded after what investigators believe to be a targeted shooting late Saturday night in Surrey.

Officers found two men in their late 20s suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were taken to hospital. One man later died while the other sustained what police call "survivable" injuries.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is working with Mounties to canvas the area of the shooting.
