The victim, a Langley resident, is known to police but offered “very little information” with investigators before undergoing surgery, though police believe the shooting is targeted.

“It is too early to definitively say this incident is linked to the Lower Mainland gang conflict,” said Cpl. Holly Largy in a police statement issued Monday morning.

Langley RCMP’s serious crimes unit is now handling the investigation. Anyone with information about the shooting or the victim is asked to contact investigators at 604-532-3200.
