The Surrey home of Cricket Canada’s president has been hit by gunfire. CBC’s fifth estate reports Arvinder Khosa has confirmed his house in Newton was hit early Wednesday morning. It’s the second time the same home has been fired at. No one was hurt - the Surrey Police Service has linked the shooting to the ongoing extortion crisis. Fifth estate has previously reported on unproven allegations Cricket Canada had been linked to organized crime and efforts to rig matches. Khosa has also been linked to players who claim to be part of the Bishnoi gang - he has denied those allegations.

The B.C. government is trying to downplay a slide in hotel bookings for June over the same time last year, erasing any confidence in a bump due to the FIFA World Cup. Economic Growth Minister Ravi Kahlon says he knows people will come and skeptics have been wrong in the past. Destination Vancouver says there’s been a 20 per cent drop in bookings over the first few weeks of the event. Some experts think taxpayers will only learn of the true cost to put on the World Cup after it’s over.

The nurses have been without a contract for over a year.

Mayor Brenda Locke says she’s outraged by the recent shootings in Surrey and is demanding a review of cuts to the local gang squad. The comments come after two teens - one 16 and the other 18 - were shot dead in the parkade of a Newton townhouse complex late Sunday evening. That shooting comes after two men were critically wounded by gunfire at a gas station on 152 Street over the weekend. Locke says the violence is deeply troubling for the people who live and work in Surrey. The shootings are both connected to B.C.’s gang conflict. Officers from the Surrey Police Service were moved to patrol duties in Cloverdale following pressure to speed up the transition from the RCMP to the new city police force.
