The Vancouver Police Department has requested that BC’s Independent Investigation Office (IIO) investigate after a Vancouver Police officer was involved in a shooting.

Around 10:30 this morning, police responded to a 9-1-1 call of a woman with a knife at a home in the 1100 block of Lakewood Drive.

When officers arrived, they were allegedly confronted by a woman on the street. The woman was subsequently shot by police. She was taken to hospital by paramedics where she remains in stable condition.

Any further queries should be directed to the Independent Investigations Office.
