A man’s been shot dead by Mounties following a bizarre incident at North Vancouver’s Westview Shopping Centre Tuesday afternoon. RCMP, responding to reports of a man with a knife inside the McDonald’s, say the suspect left, jumped in a parked vehicle and then smashed into several others. Vancouver Rundown has learned he briefly went inside the Esso/7-Eleven before entering the driver’s side of an unoccupied cop car, idling next to the gas pumps. Witnesses say they heard gunfire. The IIO will investigate what alternatives were used before the man was shot. RCMP have not commented on those details.
