GUILDFORD 㽶Ƶֱ A man is in serious but stable condition after a shooting in Guildford Tuesday night.

The victim had multiple gun shot wounds and was transported to a regional trauma centre, according to Surrey RCMP.

Corporal Scotty Schumann said the man, 29, was from Coquitlam and 㽶Ƶֱknown to police.㽶Ƶֱ

He㽶Ƶֱs expected to survive.

Though police arrested a suspect last night in relation to the shooing, Schumann said, but 㽶Ƶֱhe㽶Ƶֱs been eliminated as a suspect so currently, we have no persons in custody.㽶Ƶֱ

Police are still trying to determine who the shooter was.

Bystanders said they believe that the shots came from a motorcyclist.

㽶ƵֱWe believe it was targeted,㽶Ƶֱ Schumann added. 㽶ƵֱCertainly, the actions of the shooter lead one to believe that this was targeted. Every shooting in public I would categorize as brazen, whether it㽶Ƶֱs daytime or night time. It㽶Ƶֱs still a risk to the public.㽶Ƶֱ

The shooting took place shortly before 8:30 p.m. at the strip mall at the northwest corner of 148 Street and 108 Avenue in Guildford and witnesses said they heard half a dozen shots prior to the RCMP㽶Ƶֱs arrival. A bullet hole marred the glass front of a sushi restaurant with a 㽶Ƶֱgrand opening㽶Ƶֱ sign still up.

RCMP forensics and the serious crime investigators were gathering evidence at the scene for several hours after the shooting.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or .
