Two people dead and six taken to hospital after multiple shooting
Thursday, August 09 - 07:12:00 AM
Two people are dead and six others have been rushed to hospital after a multiple shooting at Broadway and Fraser this morning.
The 911 calls started flooding into police just after 4:30 this morning and they rushed to the Fortune Happiness Restaurant on East Broadway to discover a veritable bloodbath. There were a total of eight people with gunshot wounds, with two bodies still lying on the floor.
Vancouver Police Inspector Bob Chapman says restaurant staff reported two people entered the restaurant but they're not sure at this time whether they came through the front or the back. He says as soon as they entered the restaurant, they started shooting.
The two suspects then took off and they're still on the loose. Police don't have any descriptions to release. They're also not commenting on a possible motive for this but say the restaurant does appear to have been targetted. They don't think there is any threat to the general public.
Police also say this could turn into a triple homicide, with one of the six survivors not doing well in hospital.
