Langley has seen a murder, multiple shooting incidents, and even the arrest of people who were allegedly posing as police officers – all things that have happened in other Lower Mainland communities in recent weeks.

Anti-gang officers have said the gang violence has increased. Most of the murders and shootings have been “targeted,” with the people shot or shot at “known to police.”

Are you worried for your safety or your family’s safety given the increase in gang shootings?
