Gunfire erupted in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighbourhood Wednesday morning just after 8am.
The Vancouver Police Department shut down Hamilton Street between Davie and Helmcken streets after a drive-by shooting targeted a business in the area.
“A business in Yaletown was the target of a drive-by shooting earlier this morning. The business was closed at the time of the shooting, and so as of now, there are no known injuries to anyone,” said Cst. Tania Visintin in an email to Anywhere Vancouver.
