Police say a woman has been fatally shot in Vancouver.
A statement from Sgt. Steve Addison says police responded to a call at about 4 a.m. on Wednesday.
Addison says the woman was found in a social housing building in the Downtown Eastside and died later in hospital.
Police believe her attacker fled.
Addison says no arrests have been made and the woman has not been identified.
Health Canada announced the approval of the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson, saying regulators have evidence showing the vaccine is both safe and effective against the novel coronavirus that causes the disease.
COVID-19 outbreaks have forced closure of separate units at three other Lower Mainland hospitals since last month.
Harinder Brar, 30, and his wife, Hazel Brar, 30, of Rocky View County, have been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking for the fentanyl and cocaine, possession of property obtained by crime and possession of a prohibited weapon.
There was concern that Dr.Gill appeared to be "willfully spreading false and misleading information regarding COVID-19 that goes directly against the advice and recommendations of local, provincial, and federal medical/science and public health authorities."
The victim was transported to hospital, where she remains in critical condition. A nearby school was temporarily sheltering in place as a precaution while NWPD officers secured the scene.
She says she expects the plan will be finalized around March 18, in the meantime the initial supply will be used to address ongoing outbreaks that are leading to rapidly increasing case numbers in some communities.
