VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver say they have shot a suspect who stabbed “a number of people.”

They say the violent incident happened in the downtown core, near the city’s main library.

A video seen by The Canadian Press shows police aiming their guns over the counter of a convenience store and firing at least 10 times.

Police are heard on the video yelling, “move over” as several officers aim their weapons inside the 7-Eleven store.

Mainul Islam, a student and part-time deliver worker who captured the scene on video, says he was stopped by police from entering the store before witnessing the shooting of a man he described as “homeless.”
