1 person injured after another shooting in downtown Vancouver

Police were called to another shooting in downtown Vancouver Wednesday night, with one person injured in the latest incident.
Authorities said they received reports of shots fired near Homer and West Pender streets around 7:50 p.m., and officers responded to the scene to find a person with serious injuries.
In a news release, the Vancouver Police Department warned drivers that investigators would be in the area for "several hours" and that there could be traffic disruptions.
The department said: The injured was taken to the hospital and is undergoing treatment. No arrests have been made.
  The incident comes days after another shooting shocked onlookers near the busy intersection of Robson and Richards streets.
Video footage captured two gunmen shooting at a black car at close range around 5:40 p.m.
No one was injured in the incident, but police said two dogs inside the vehicle were injured.
There also appeared to be a bullet hole in the window of a nearby Tim Hortons restaurant.
"It's a miracle no one was killed," Sergeant Steve Addison told reporters Sunday. "We had people literally running for their lives."
Authorities have previously said the target of that shooting was involved in gang activity, and they are preparing for a "retaliation incident" in the near future, following a pattern of similar shootings in the Lower Mainland.
