UPDATE 3:00 P.M. JUNE 11, 2014
Charges have now been laid in yesterday’s (Tuesday's) shooting in downtown Vancouver, which injured three people including a police officer, the victim and the alleged shooter.
The Vancouver Police Department says 61-year-old Gerald Mark Battersby has now been charged with six counts of attempted murder.
The VPD says shortly after 11 a.m., the 52-year-old victim was out front of the Starbucks on Davie Street when he was approached and shot. Police officers happened to be nearby, challenged the alleged shooter and exchanged several shots.
"The man fled on a bike along the seawall pursued by police. Dozens of officers flooded the area and found the suspect on the sea wall at Science World. A second exchange of gun fire occurred.
The suspect was shot and one police officer received minor injuries from flying glass when the window of her police car was shot out," stated the police statement.
Battersby remains in hospital under guard and is also facing four firearm offences on top of the attempted murder charges.
The victim remains in hospital in stable but critical condition.
“Our thoughts are with the victim, his family and his friends,” says VPD Acting Chief Constable Doug LePard.
“Our focus will now be on completing a thorough investigation to provide Crown with the best evidence to support the charges.”
Investigators have spoken to more than 100 witnesses.
Anyone with information about the accused, those with photos or video to provide police, and those who witnessed the incident and have not yet spoken to police are asked to call the VPD Major Crime Section at (604) 717-2541 or by e-mail [email protected].
