WEST VANCOUVER — A triple shooting on the Capilano Reserve Saturday night left three wounded and cast a dark shadow over the Squamish Nation powwow being hosted at the reserve this weekend.
Three people, one female and two males, were wounded after gunfire broke out outside of the powwow gate just after 11 p.m. Saturday night.
The female victim suffered superficial wounds and was released from hospital.
The male victims are still in serious condition in hospital — one with a bullet still lodged in his body.
The shooting happened after a group of people tried to gain access to the powwow grounds last night and were refused, said Chief Bill Williams.
The shooter was not a member of the Squamish First Nation, according to Williams.
"Witnesses described a man doing the shooting," said Cpl. Fred Harding of the West Vancouver Police Department. “I don't know what origin, what nationality, what age.”
