A Surrey home that was previously targeted in a shooting last month was struck by gunfire again early Thursday morning, according to Surrey Police Service (SPS).

Police said officers responded at approximately 4:02 a.m. to reports of shots fired near 57 Avenue and 148 Street in the South Newton neighbourhood. Frontline officers located evidence confirming that gunfire had occurred at the property.

Authorities said several people were inside the home at the time of the shooting, but no injuries were reported. The extent of any property damage has not been released.

According to SPS, the investigation remains in its early stages. However, investigators believe the incident may be connected to an ongoing extortion-related matter. Police noted that the same residence was also targeted in a shooting on May 20.

The case has been assigned to the SPS Extortion Response Team. Members of Integrated Forensic Identification Services are processing the scene and collecting digital and physical evidence as the investigation continues.

Most Crime Guns Traced in Canada Originated Domestically, RCMP Internal Reports Show

Most firearms linked to criminal activity in Canada during 2023 and 2024 were obtained within the country rather than smuggled from abroad, according to RCMP internal reports.

The findings are based on firearm tracing data collected by the RCMP. According to the reports, investigators completed examinations of 6,951 firearms in 2024. Of those, 4,197 were identified as having been used in criminal activity. Authorities were abl
