Appears to have been a targeted attack on homeless people. Multiple crime scenes. Suspect in custody.

Doesn’t Canadian have one of the strictest gun laws around?

The fact that i live 30 min a away from it is just scary

Well, that explains the emergency alert I got on my phone talking about a suspect at large and to stay home. I'm nowhere near Langley, but I still got a warning. Happy to know that my government is proactive on such things.👍

I live only a 15 minute drive away in Surrey. I was there around Langley last night for sis' birthday. My friend from school was serving us dinner by the Indigo bookstore. A few hours later, the shooter started carrying out his attacks. Was scared that my friend may have gotten into the crossfire. Glad this lunatic didn't kill any more people, considering how busy an area it is. But RIP to all the victims of this terrible shooting!

I live in Coquitlam, BC, Canada and I woke up to the scary EAS (emergency alert notification) on my iPhone just after 6 this morning. I went from being fast asleep to being fully awake and reaching for my phone within seconds. I was worried it was something worse such as a nuclear attack, but this is still awful.

Wait why didn’t all Justin’s gun laws stop this ??

The gangland gun violence is something most Canadians cringe at the thought of, and weve learned to live with it. Accepting law enforcements lack of ability to do much about it, because it generally just affects those involved in criminal activity. That doesnt do much for the loved ones, who arent, that suffer, and anyone who may just be at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
But random murderous rampages, with psychotic, sociopathic behavior at the helm?
This was quite a shock this morning, particularly for those of us who live in the Lower Mainland.
My condolences to the lost souls.
My respect to the actions of law enforcement as well.
Sad day

But Joe Biden said this only happens here?

I thought Canada only had beheadings on Greyhound buses. I guess they are catching up with the times.

As a Canadian living like 2 hours away from the shooting I’m slightly unnerved but I mean even though we are internationally regarded as being “much” safer than the US, I do agree it’s nearly impossible to have an absolutely _perfectly_ clean streak for gun violence, when this country literally borders another country which has a _much_ more serious and problematic version of this issue

[radioranger]

At this point 3 people are dead, 4 people wounded

[PaintballerReviews]

You got that wrong suspect they had in custody was not the shooter they ended up later shooting the shooter

[mopthermopther]

What the hell ! Slow down !
We haven’t digested the shooting in Dallas yet.

[emiliobello]

Never thought this would happen in Canada

[michaelrmurphy]

In BC is is often gang related. Indo Canadian gangstas warring over drugs and turf.
