Just wondering if anyone knows the details of why Quadra (between Hillside and Finlayson) and Hillside (east of Quadra) were both blocked off by the police tonight around 10:00/10:30...

Apparently it was a "crime scene" and "news worthy" but I haven't heard anything else.

Anyone? - Sat, 3 Feb 2007 11:17pm

At noon today Hillside was STILL cordoned off between Quadra and fucking Cook. Jesus. I guess guns have never been fired in this city. Not that that's a bad thing - just culture shock for us I guess. - Sun, 4 Feb 2007 2:54pm

I was there, in the store, all of hillside from cook to quadra was blocked, the cops wouldnt even let me get to my house, they chased a guy down and were shooting at him, he was driving on teh sidewalk, and they rammed him into a poll, me and my buddy were right in teh store and saw them ram him, - Sun, 4 Feb 2007 3:36pm

wow.. thats funny, I watched it go down, and there was no rushing to the hospital, it seemed like they took their sweet ass time, and the police rammed him, and there was a few people by the bus shelter that got shot... and I'm sure slamming him onto the hood of the cruiser that rammed him did alot for his wonds... but you know, I might have had a bad view and could be totally wrong here - Sun, 4 Feb 2007 6:59pm Edited: Sun, 4 Feb 2007 7:00pm
