Crime scene tape was up at Sukh Hair and Beauty Salon on Monday with dozens of officers canvassing the area. Four large bullet holes could be seen in the glass.

The motive for the incident is currently unknown.
Kuljit Sandhu owns Dhesi Meat Shop next door to the salon.
He told Global News that the shooting is very concerning.
“Surrey is getting really bad these days,” he said. “Every other day, there’s gunshots.”
Sandhu said he is scared about why the shooting happened and who was the intended target.
Sahib Walia lives in a nearby apartment. He said he didn’t hear the shooting, but seeing the aftermath made him fear for his safety and for the neighbourhood.
“That should not be happening,” he said. “What if someone was in there or on the sidewalk?”
