Three men have been killed in two separate shootings in Surrey, B.C.

RCMP Insp. Dan Splinter says the first incident occurred shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday night when a man was shot numerous times in what is believed to be a gang attack.

The victim was found in an area of vacant and undeveloped lots in the east-central portion of the city and was rushed to hospital but died a short time later.

Just before midnight, officers responded to the second shooting at an apartment parkade in the northwestern area of Surrey to find two men dead.

Splinter says it's too early to tell if the second incident was gang related, or if the two shootings are linked.

He says the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over both cases.
