Vancouver police are investigating a violent incident in the downtown area on Wednesday that ended with officers fatally shooting a suspect.
Mayor Ken Sim said that despite calls for change, senior levels of government have done nothing to help people feel safe.
“We come here all the time and we saw, we look at the data that Vancouver is still a very safe city but incidents like this just really hit us to our core and it keeps people on edge,” he said.
Video of the incident on Wednesday shows police shooting a man who had allegedly stabbed one person and wounded another.
Police said they were responding to a report of a man who had stolen alcohol from the Original Joe’s restaurant and was armed with a knife.
Officers located the man at the 7-Eleven at Robson and Hamilton where the incident happened.
