New Westminster's police chief says his department is developing an "immediate plan of action" in response to a shooting on Tuesday in the downtown core, within a block of that city's courthouse.
One man was hurt and two people are in custody after police say a suspect approached a group, pulled out a gun and fired several times before fleeing.
Chief Dave Jansen says in a statement that, in light of other recent events in the downtown core, it's time to act because he says he's been told people feel unsafe in the area.
Police say the shooting happened on Alexander Street and they want to talk to anyone in the busy area who finds any evidence of the attack — or has surveillance video that might offer some clues.
