The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said: Surrey Thursday night's shooting was the third time police tried to arrest a man in three days.
An emergency response team was called to the house near 162nd Street and 88th Avenue.
RCMP say the call was in response to a report of a man suspected of multiple violations of release conditions related to intimate partner violence assault charges.
Randall Tremblay was initially charged with assault on Tuesday and released on conditions including no contact with the victim.
On Wednesday, police were alerted to his suspected breach of those conditions and arrested him. He appeared in court and was charged with two counts of breaching his release order.
On Thursday, he was released again with more conditions, which police said they found he had violated by 4:30 p.m.

Police said Tremblay hid in a building leading to the standoff, but he was eventually taken into custody without any injuries.
Surrey RCMP spokesperson Sarbjit Sangha called the case “concerning.”
“Especially because we’re talking about intimate partner violence,” she said.
“We want to make sure that anyone who is experiencing any type of violence has access to resources and can reach out and report it.”
Sangha added that the city of Surrey has a dedicated intimate partner violence unit and takes all reported cases seriously.
Tremblay remains in custody awaiting a June 10 court hearing.
