Residents in a Surrey neighbourhood are in shock after two young men were gunned down outside a home that "isn't frequented by police," Surrey RCMP said.

Gurpreet "Gary" Sidhu, 22, is dead and one of his friends is seriously injured after they were shot in front of Sidhu's family  home late Thursday night.  

Neighbours one house down from 12451 90A Ave. Called police after hearing five shots fired, said Gurmeet Singh, whose uncle made the call.

"I've never seen any trouble here before, it's tragic, it's sad," Singh said.

Sidhu lived in the home with his mother, father, and two grandparents, Singh said.

Sidhu's sister, who recently married and moved out of the home, is inside the residence with the rest of the family and friends.

Kirndeep Dhesi, a mother who lives across the street with her husband, inlaws and two kids, said she's scared now because the shooting happened just before 11 p.m., not later.

"People are walking around at that time on the roads," she said, adding residents stroll around the neighbourhood a lot.

Dhesi, 29, also said the Sidhus are "a good family" and that she's never seen anything like the shooting happen in the nine years she's lived in the neighbourhood.

Police are also investigating a report of shots fired at 104 Avenue and 140 Street in Surrey.
