Vancouver BC: 2 men sought in fatal shooting at Vancouver mall: Man in his 20s dies of multiple gunshot wounds
uploaded by Barry Artiste
Barry Artiste Op/Ed
A popular shopping mall in Vancouver turned into a scene out of Pulp Fiction when a man was shot Gangland style with bullets a whizzing about as shoppers went about their bargain hunting.
Gang land hits a popular status quo pastime in a city of a thousand tales, takes another hit as Crime Central of Western Canada.
Media and Police however have not reported whether the two Gunmen had registered their illegal firearms with the Liberals Federal Gun Registry, but registration papers are available for them to pick up at local Gun Registry offices.
Failure by these Hitman to register their illegal firearms used in the murder of this young man will result in a Finger Wagging by a judge, and a stern warning to register any illegal firearms they may have in their possession or face more finger wagging, perhaps even a fine of some sort.
Gunmen be warned!
Police are looking for two suspects in the shooting in which the victim died from his wounds.

Two men police believe are responsible for the fatal shooting of a young man in the underground parking lot of a busy shopping mall in Vancouver are still on the loose.
Vancouver police officers arrived at Oakridge Centre on Cambie Street and West 41st Avenue shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday after reports of gunfire, Const. Tim Fanning said.
Several witnesses told police they heard at least seven shots fired and then saw a man lying face down near his vehicle, Fanning said.
'This shooting has all the earmarks of a targeted attack.'— Const. Tim Fanning, Vancouver police

Barry Artiste, this is getting to be so common now in our 'neck of the woods'. I can't imagine shopping and then seeing that happen.

Barry Artiste, I like this story. It's good stuff. These criminals are so bold, they must be quite confident that nothing bad will happen to them if they are caught and convicted. Oakridge must have them on security cameras.

I was actually about to leave the mall when the shooting happened. We saw a bunch of cops not knowing whats going on. Just surprised hearing about the shooting afterwards.

Thanks everyone for visiting and your comments and flag, certainly what I have said all along, Vancouver, just aint that Vangroovy anymore, when people, like Jeff cannot go into a mall without wondering if they will get out alive,

It's about time Canada allows concealed firearm carry permits. This would put an end to these brazen shootings. If people had legal concealed carry rights, gangsters and hit men would think twice. No one would know who is carrying and who is not. People would think twice about attacking each other, by assuming the unarmed individuals are indeed armed. Statistics show in U.S states where concealed carry is permitted there is less crime committed. By the Canadian government banning concealed carry permits it just makes the criminals jobs easier. Simple as that.
