  • Shooting at a South Vancouver home leaves one man injured

A shooting in South Vancouver on Wednesday night close to Main Street has left a man injured. 

Vancouver police officers were at the scene near East 53 Avenue and Sophia Street around 9:45pm Wednesday. 

Til the paramedics arrived officers stayed with the victim. 

The man is expected to survive his injuries. The home is under surveillance and police tape is up around the house.

Neighbors say they have heard fighting in the home. 

The VPD’s gang unit was also in the area overnight.

This the second shooting for the South Vancouver neighborhood in just a few weeks time.

The earlier shooting that resulted in the death of 30 year old Amin Shahin Shakur is not connected to this incident.
