'A number of people have been stabbed, and the suspect has been shot by police.'
Police in Vancouver are on scene at what they describe as a "violent incident" involving multiple stabbings at or near a convenience store.
According to a tweet posted by the VPD on X/Twitter, the incident is unfolding at Robson and Hamilton. The 7-Eleven at Robson and Hamilton appears to be the central focus of the activity. The store along with a couple of businesses to the west of it on Robson are taped off. He tells V.I.A. he saw two people being carried out of the convenience store on stretchers.
There is a large crowd and a significant police presence, including mounted police officers and other emergency responders. Robson is blocked off from Homer to Hamilton, though police continue to arrive on scene and the perimeter may likely be expanded. V.I.A. will continue to update as more information is made available.
