Gunfire from an upper floor, an isolated suite, and three arrests by 4 a.m.

Gunshots rang out from an upper floor of a Surrey apartment tower. Within minutes, police had isolated the suspected suite. About 90 minutes later, three people were under arrest.

Surrey Police Service officers were called at approximately 2:16 a.m. on November 9 after multiple shots were fired from an upper floor of a high-rise residential building in the 9600 block of 136A Street, in the Surrey Central area.

Police isolate the suite

Officers surrounded and isolated the suite believed to be the source of the gunfire, launching a major response with assistance from the New Westminster Police Department.

About 90 minutes after the initial response, police arrested two men and one woman without further incident.

Inside the suite, officers observed a shotgun, which was seized.

There was one significant outcome: no injuries were reported.

The investigation is continuing. Police have not identified the three arrested individuals or announced any charges.

Another firearm investigation this week

This was the second firearms incident Surrey police reported this week.

Early Sunday, officers arrested an 18-year-old after a white Porsche ran a red light while evading police. A loaded firearm was also discovered during that investigation.

The two incidents are separate investigations, but both involved firearms and police arrests within the same week.

The Twikup Take

Three arrests, a seized shotgun and no reported injuries. That's how a major overnight police response in a residential tower ended.

The biggest unanswered question is still who fired the shots — and why.
