Burnaby RCMP got two calls about guns Sunday, one on Highway 1 and another on Burnaby Mountain. The weapons ended up being fake in both cases.

A 17-year-old who pointed a toy gun at his brother as the two were travelling in separate vehicles on Highway 1 in Burnaby Sunday faced police officers with real guns drawn at the end of the ride.

The witness provided police with a description of the vehicle and a licence plate number, Kalanj said. "The reason it was so serious is because there was a gun. We treat every gun as real until we prove it's not real." Burnaby RCMP got a call just before 8 p.m. from a student who said they had seen a man on campus "flipping" a gun, according to Kalanj.
