On July 25, 2022, multiple shootings occurred in the City of Langley and Township of Langley in British Columbia, Canada. Two people were killed in the shootings, and two others were injured. The suspect, who was known to police, was later located near the Willowbrook Shopping Centre and killed in a shootout with Langley RCMP and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team.

Shootings

A Lower Mainland-wide emergency cellphone alert was issued at 6:15 a.m. PDT announcing that multiple shootings had taken place in Downtown Langley, and that one shooting was also reported in the adjacent Langley Township. The alert also mentioned that the police were looking for a dark-haired white man wearing brown Carhartt coveralls blue and a green camouflaged shirt with a red logo on the right sleeve.

According to British Columbia RCMP, the shooting spree began at midnight on July 25 in the parking lot of Cascades Casino on Fraser Highway, where an injured woman was found in critical condition. At 3:00 a.m. a man was killed at a supportive housing site at 200 Street and 64 Avenue. The shooter proceeded to the Langley bus loop at Logan Avenue and Glover Road, and fatally shot a second man at around 5:00 a.m. Around 5:45 a.m. the perpetrator drove to the Langley Bypass, near the Willowbrook Shopping Centre, in a white car. While there, he wounded another man by shooting him in the leg. Shortly before 7:20 a.m., the suspect died in a shootout with the police at the same location. He was subsequently identified as 28-year-old Jordan Daniel Goggin.

Another emergency alert was sent at 7:20 a.m. cautioning residents to avoid the downtown core of Langley as authorities investigated whether or not there were more shooters. BC RCMP later announced that the suspected shooter was dead.

Police believe that homeless people were the main target of the attack.
