Man, 22, critically injured in central Surrey shooting

A 22-year-old man is in hospital fighting for his life after a shooting in central Surrey on Monday night, the Vancouver Sun reported.

The man is described as critically injured. The shooting took place in the central part of the city, one of the busier areas of Surrey and within easy reach of neighbouring communities across Metro Vancouver.

For residents of Surrey and the wider region, a shooting that leaves a young man in critical condition is the kind of incident that draws close attention in the days that follow.

Updates from police or the hospital would be the next confirmation of the man's condition and of what happened on Monday night.
