2 dead after shooting rampage in Vancouver

A gunman who roamed for hours through a sleeping Vancouver suburb shot four people early Monday, two of them fatally, as he opened fire at a casino, a center for the homeless and other locations before being killed by police, authorities said. The attacks began in the wee hours in the bedroom community of Langley and continued until dawn, according to authorities, who initially suggested that the shootings had targeted homeless people.
The first shooting occurred at midnight at the casino, with more shootings at 3 a.m., 5 a.m. and 5:45 a.m. including at a residential complex that provides support for people who are transitioning out of homelessness.
The other shooting scenes were a bus stop and a highway, police said. Police sent a cell phone alert to residents at 6:20 a.m., saying they were at the scene of several shootings “involving transient victims," describing the gunman and asking people to “please remain alert and out of the area.”But by then, the gunman was already dead. A spokesman for homicide investigators, later told reporters that it was not yet clear if the victims were homeless.
