COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) - RCMP in Coquitlam have taped off an area near Como Lake Avenue and North Road after a reported shooting.
RCMP says four men have been arrested and a fifth man who ran off, may be injured. RCMP Corporal, Peter Thiessen, believes police are doing everything possible to combat this violence, but there aren't any easy solutions.
"We as police officers live in the Lower Mainland, we live in these communities too and our famillies are as concerned as every other family around, with what's happening with some of these shootings."
Vancouver Mayor, Gregor Robertson, says he favours a regional police force to deal with an increase in shootings and gang violence. Tomorrow, the Provincial Government will meet with prosecutors mayors and police chiefs to make an announcement on new anti-gang measures.
