Man injured in shooting in Vancouver's Dunbar neighbourhood
3 people, including a child, were leaving a restaurant when police say shots were fired at them
A man was injured after shots were fired at him, a woman and a child in the Dunbar neighbourhood of Vancouver on Tuesday night, according to Vancouver police.
Police say they responded to a call about shots fired near West 29th Avenue and Dunbar Street just after 5:30 p.m.
"What we know right now is a man, a woman and a child were leaving a restaurant in the area when possibly two suspects began shooting at them," said Const. Tania Visintin in an email to CBC News.
The man was the only one injured in the shooting and was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The VPD says the suspects fled the area in a vehicle, but police later found and arrested them. Police say they are still investigating and do not yet know whether the shooting was targeted.
George McCloud, a witness, said he arrived on the scene shortly after the suspects were arrested.
"When I arrived they were shining a light on the first guy and they were questioning him. They were trying to get information out of him," he said.
McCloud, who's lived in Dunbar for years, says he's never seen a crime scene involving firearms in the neighbourhood before.
