2 people also injured during series of attacks over 6 hours that triggered emergency alerts to public.
Two victims are dead and two others are seriously hurt after multiple shootings in Langley, B.C., on Monday prompted emergency alerts to the public.
A suspect known to police was later identified and shot dead by RCMP, ending a series of attacks officers initially said were targeted at homeless people in the community. At a news conference on Monday afternoon, police said the shootings unfolded in the City of Langley and the neighbouring Township of Langley over the course of six hours, starting around midnight.

Police shot and killed the suspect after an “interaction,” but did not say at what time.Just before 6:20 a.m., RCMP issued a blaring direct-to-cellphone emergency alert to the public with a description of a suspect and possible suspect vehicle— the second time in the past year the Alert Ready system has been used for an active shooter scenario in B.C.

David Lee with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). “That time was the best time that we were able to issue the alert and tie these things together.”While a press release from the President House said Elahi’s oath would be administered by President Alvi at 2am in Islamabad…
