Vancouver police say they’re investigating an alleged machete attack in the city’s downtown core that sent four people to hospital with life-altering injuries.
They say officers were called to a rooming house in the Granville Entertainment District on Saturday after a man allegedly set his suite on fire and then attacked four people inside the building.
Police say they eventually shot and injured the man after he confronted officers while allegedly still armed.
That triggered an investigation from British Columbia’s police watchdog, which probes incidents where people are injured during a police interaction.
