Let's talk about what happened at #Metrotown in #Burnaby British Columbia yesterday and why it is far more serious than a "prank." Background: Police were called to an active shooter and possible pipe bomb. People were evacuated. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
The mall is one of the biggest in Canada. It's actually two malls which merged some years ago into one gigantic mega mall. Yesterday afternoon, reports came in of shots fired, and videos of panicked people running out of the mall while heavily armed police entered were shared.
This mall is also a central transit hub. Bus service and SkyTrain service was halted as the police incident unfolded.
