Vancouver police are investigating what they say is a targeted shooting at a restaurant on Victoria Drive and 35th Avenue.
Police say they were called at about 12:30 p.m. on Thursday to the Lam Hoa Quan Restaurant on Victoria Drive. When they arrived they found a 33-year-old man inside the restaurant with several gunshot wounds.
