Shots outside

crime.jpgWeird incident happened this morning. I was on my computer, cheking my mails when I heard couple of bangs outside. I registered them, but didn't think anything of it, as there is normally some construction going on - except these bangs were followed my a man screaming, then shouting "I was shot! I was shot!". At this point I go to the window - no one is screaming anymore, but I see two police officers on Burnaby, one talking to his shoulder mike and running one direction, other one running the other direction. Both went out of the view, and then a big silver car speeds up with screeching tires and disappears. About 30 seconds later an ambulance comes in, but all the action is behind the houses so I couldn't see anything more.

Local news sites don't report anything about this incident, so I don't know what really happened. Well, I know someone was shot, but most likely not dead. Really weird, this is not the neighbourhood you'd expect something like that to happen. So believe it or not, that lovely photo taken couple of days ago was actually a scene of crime.
