VANCOUVER — Another man died late Monday in a targeted shooting outside a corner store at 70th and Marine in Vancouver.
The man appears to have gotten out of a silver BMW to go into the store and was shot when exiting.
His body lay beside the car at 11 p.m. as police cordoned off several blocks.
Shots rang out about 9:40 p.m., neighbours said.
There were two batches of gunfire, up to 12 shots in all. At least 12 police vehicles were on the scene. Ambulances responded, but left once they saw the victim was dead.
The body lay near a service bay of a gas station next to the store. Cheryl Dycke heard the shots and a woman screaming.
Dycke had just been leaving for the store from her apartment across the street.
“It is quite shocking. I thought it was a robbery,” said Dycke.
She said more people could have been hit as the store is very busy.
“I thought it was fireworks at first,” she said.
