Kako piše BBC, incident se dogodio jučer ujutro, kada su policajci reagovali na dojavu o muškarcu naoružanom nožem koji je ukrao alkohol u restoranu.
Dvije povrijeđene osobe prevezene su u bolnicu, a njihove povrede ne smatraju se opasnima po život. Policija još nije identificirala preminulog osumnjičenika.
U saopćenju vankuverske policije navodi se da je osoba koja ih je zvala "prijavila muškarca koji je ukrao alkohol i bio naoružan nožem" u restoranu u blizini gradske centralne biblioteke. Kada su policajci stigli na mjesto događaja, pronašli su naoružanog osumnjičenika u obližnjoj trgovini.
Osumnjičenik, čiji identitet nije otkriven, tada je upucan i kritično ranjen. Policajci i hitne službe pokušali su mu pružiti pomoć, ali preminuo je u bolnici.
