Police in Surrey, B.C., reassure the public their city is safe despite 4 murders

SURREY, B.C. – Assurances are being made by the RCMP officer in charge of the Surrey, B.C., detachment that citizens are safe in their community.

The pledge from Chief Supt. Bill Fordy comes after a spasm of shootings over the span of 32 hours left four men dead and one person wounded.

Fordy says the shootings are all related to the criminal underworld, underscoring that there is nothing glamorous about a life of crime.

Police say 29-year-old Manjinder “Manny” Hairan is the most recent victim after he was killed and another man was wounded in a shooting early this morning.

The two victims of a shooting in a Surrey parkade on Sunday night are John McGiveron and Geordie Carlow, both 33 years old and both known to police.

A 27-year-old Surrey man, Manjot Dhillon, has also been identified as the victim of a shooting early Sunday evening.
