Shaken City Of Vancouver Workers Return To The Job After Co-worker Shot Dead In Burnaby

The Canadian Press, 16 Jul, 2015 10:31 AM
    VANCOUVER — The City of Vancouver confirms a veteran employee is the man fatally shot in a targeted attack in Burnaby, B.C.
     
    The shooting occurred at around noon Wednesday when a suspect approached a Burnaby home, a shouting match with the homeowner ensued and shots were fired.
     
     
    RCMP in Burnaby say the victim, who has not been officially identified, died a short time later in hospital and the case has been turned over to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
     
     
    The City of Vancouver locked down one of its public works yards in the wake of the attack and increased security at other yards and engineering department offices, but security levels have since been scaled back and operations are returning to normal.
     
     
    A statement issued by the City of Vancouver says counselling and support is being offered to staff and the man's co-workers, and the flag at City Hall has been lowered to half-mast in honour of the victim.
     
     
    No arrests have been made but homicide investigators have said further details could be released today.
