  • One hurt in shooting on Vancouver's west side

A shooting outside a restaurant in a west-side Vancouver neighbourhood has left one man injured.

It happened at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in a busy section of the Dunbar area, crowded with shops and restaurants.

A statement from police says a family of three was leaving a restaurant when the shots were fired.

A woman and child were not hurt but a man with them was taken to hospital suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Two people were arrested a short time later.

Charges have been approved against two men after they were apprehended on Tuesday evening by Vancouver Police following a shooting on the west side.

Liban Hassan, 35, and Ahmed Ismail, 24, have been charged with attempted murder.

Both men will remain in custody until their next court appearance next week.
