    Man In Hospital Following Car Fire And Police-Involved Shooting In Vancouver

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 May, 2016 10:18 AM
      VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Police Department's major crimes unit is investigating after a strange set of circumstances led to a police shooting Tuesday.
       
      Police say officers on an unrelated call were summoned to a nearby car fire in a fast food restaurant's parking lot.
       

      The department says officers were confronted by a knife-wielding man that they fired their weapons when he allegedly came at them.
       
      The 28-year-old man was transported to hospital for gunshot and stab wounds and is in stable condition.
       
      Police say the man is connected to the burning car, but they're still talking to witnesses to get the rest of the story.
       
      Members of the Independent Investigations Office were also on the scene in an effort to determine if police may have committed an offence.
