Gunfire in Vancouver restaurant kills two, wounds six; police suspect gangs
VANCOUVER (CP) - Two masked men burst into a Chinese restaurant in Vancouver early Thursday morning and gunned down eight people in a shooting police described as a heinous crime ranking among the worst ever in the city. Two people were killed and six wounded - one critically - before the gunmen fled, leaving spent shell casings littering the floor amidst overturned chairs and tables. Police are hoping six frantic witnesses in the restaurant at the time will shed some light on what officers believe was a targeted assault. "We have had shootings in restaurants like this a couple of other times but not one that I can recall where as many people were hit like this," said Deputy Chief Bob Rich. "So this is one of the worst shootings that we've had in Vancouver." Fortune Happiness restaurant, in a section of Vancouver stubbornly resisting the gentrification consuming businesses along the same major corridor, wasn't on police radar as a hot spot for rising levels of gang and gun activity. heard it on the newz. sounds serious. |
