Surrey Police Service is looking into whether someone inside a Bear Creek-area home fired back during a shooting incident early Saturday morning in Surrey.
SPS confirmed Monday (Jan. 19) that SPS officers are investigating “whether an individual or individuals inside the residence carelessly used firearms at the time of the incident,” in regards to an early Saturday morning shooting involving a home on Galway Crescent in Surrey’s Bear Creek neighbourhood.
Police responded to a call at 2:20 a.m. Saturday (Jan. 17) of shots fired outside of a home in the 8600-block of Galway Crescent.
The shooting is believed to be extortion-related.
Although one media outlet reported someone in that shooting had been injured, that was confirmed to be a mistake, SPS Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said Monday.
As of Monday (Jan. 19), there have been 34 reported extortions, seven extortion-related shots-fired incidents, and 21 extortion-related victims (16 repeat victims) so far in Surrey in 2026.
