Vancouver police were active Sunday investigating a pair of separate overnight incidents on the city’s east side.

A Vancouver Police Department spokesperson said officers were called to the area of Monmouth and Joyce streets around 11:30 p.m., to reports of shots fired.

No vehicles were shot at and no one was hurt, according to police.

No arrests have been made, and it’s not yet clear whether this was a targeted incident.

Meanwhile, police confirmed that a fire at the Ivanhoe Hotel, a single-room occupancy residence at Main Street and National Avenue, was being investigated as suspicious.
