On Tuesday, at approximately noon, New Westminster Police responded to a shooting that occurred in the 700 block of Carnarvon Street.
The response prompted a large police presence at the Royal Columbian Hospital.
A man is being treated for non-life threatening injuries and two suspects are in police custody.
The Major Crime Unit has since taken conduct of this investigation.
A 29-year-old woman was standing outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, near Howe Street and West Georgia, when she was groped by a man she did not know. Minutes later, a 24-year-old woman was walking near West Georgia and Thurlow Street when she was also sexually assaulted. A witness to that incident reported the incident to police and began following the suspect from a distance.
Police say in a news release that a Toyota Corolla had topped the speed limit when it crossed into oncoming traffic on Granville Street at West 46th Avenue. They say the vehicle side-swiped a taxi, struck a Porsche, and went airborne over a truck before landing on top of a Hyundai Elantra and coming to rest on the pavement.
The 59-year-old will be sworn in and sign his oath of office in a brief ceremony at 12:45 p.m. in the legislature's Hall of Honour, followed by a welcome to the legislative assembly at 1:30 p.m.
The community was alerted to this suspicious vehicle through a news release issued on May 3, 2022, which prompted other local residents to report their own encounters with the vehicle, driven by a woman.
Three people were killed and 14 others had life-threatening injuries after the big-wheel red-and-white Ice Explorer lost control on the road to the Athabasca Glacier, about 100 kilometres southeast of Jasper, Alta., on July 18, 2020.
