BURNABY, B.C. - Some of British Columbia's top police officials tried to reassure the Metro Vancouver community on Monday after a spasm of brazen shootings linked to the gang war spilled into public spaces.
An innocent bystander is recovering from gunshot wounds after an attack in Burnaby Saturday, officers said, while they also identified the man executed outside Vancouver's airport Sunday who was previously the subject of a public safety warning.
