Area resident Dominic Vallee said he heard one gun shot and glass breaking.

鈥淚 heard a shotgun, there was tear gas deployed, it was pretty f鈥�-ing mental,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 personally heard two kinds of weapons, so there was an exchange of fire, guaranteed.鈥�

The Surrey RCMP says no shots were fired.

鈥淣ope, no shootout, a search warrant being executed, no shots fired, no,鈥� Munn said. 鈥淚t was a search warrant that was executed in relation to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and at the initial execution eight people were arrested inside the residence.鈥�
