A 21-year-old Squamish man has been charged in connection with a shooting that left on Dec. 16.
Police in Surrey responded to a call of a shooting around 6 p.m. in the 12600-block 67B Avenue. A woman had called the police and said she and her husband had been shot. A young child was found unharmed in a car nearby, police said. Both the woman and her husband were transported to hospital with serious injuries.
