Two people were killed and two others were seriously injured in a shooting rampage in Langley City and the Township of Langley.
The rampage ended when police caught up to a suspect at the location of the fourth shooting and shot him to death.
“These people were targeted, but the nature of how they are related to the shooter, we’re still trying to determine that,” IHIT Sgt. David Lee told a news conference at the Langley RCMP detachment.Article content The shooter then proceeded to Creek Stone Place, a supportive housing site in the 6400-block of 200 Street, where shots were fired at around 3 a.m. One person was killed there, about two kilometres north of the casino.Article content
Around noon, Smith ran up to police tape at the Langley City bus loop with tears in her eyes, pleading for Mounties to let her know if the victim who lay underneath a forensic identification unit tent was another of her friends. Snow said B.C. Housing, which put up unhoused residents in Langley in hotels during the COVID-19 pandemic as an emergency self-isolation measure, told her it would use the opportunity to find permanent housing for them.“It’s an unsafe place for them, sleeping outside in the dark. They are vulnerable and unprotected from all sorts of dangers and our government has let them down because they need housing to protect them.
At the news conference, Lee said police were not able to confirm if all the victims involved were homeless.
