Police have confirmed several victims after a series of shootings at multiple locations in Langley, B.C., prompted emergency alerts on Monday. The first alert, issued just after 6:15 a.m. PT, reported "multiple shooting scenes" in the downtown core of the City of Langley and one "incident" in the neighbouring Township of Langley. The alert included a description of a suspect.

Police confirmed one man had been arrested just before 7 a.m., but said officers were still determining whether the suspect acted alone. "We do have a male suspect in custody. However, we are ruling out any other outstanding individuals before we stand the emergency alert down," said Sgt. Rebecca Parslow. Parslow said there were several victims, but did not specify how many. She said the victims were homeless and that police believe the attack was targeted.

At least one person has died, as the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is responding to the incident. Police have established several crime scenes just a few kilometres apart: one at Willowbrook Mall, another at Cascades Casino on Fraser Highway and a third near a thrift store and bus loop at Logan Avenue and Glover Road. In the parking lot of Willowbrook Mall, a black police vehicle was seen riddled with at least nine bullet holes. The first emergency alert described the suspect as a white man with dark hair who was wearing brown Carhartt coveralls and a blue and green camouflage T-shirt with a red logo on the right sleeve. The notice said he was connected to a white car, but did not say whether police had identified a make or model.
