The Vancouver Police are investigating the connection between a shooting and a stabbing that took place late last night.
Around 1:00 a.m., police responded to the 5200 block of Dumfries Street after receiving reports of gunshots. A short time later, a 26 year old Surrey resident arrived at hospital with a non-life threatening gunshot wound.
Earlier in the evening, just before 9:00 p.m., a 17 and 19 year old were transported to hospital with stab wounds. Both men claimed the stabbing took place in the 4700 block of Slocan Street. The 19 year old has been released from hospital.
Investigators believe both incidents are connected and do not feel these attacks were random. There are no suspects in custody.
Anyone with information about either of these incidents is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Assault/Robbery Unit at (604) 717-2541 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.
