Two dead, six wounded in Vancouver shooting

i woke up and it was on CNN this morning

Two people are dead and six wounded after a multiple shooting in east Vancouver that police believe is likely a targeted hit, Vancouver police say.
Police started receiving 911 calls just after 4:20 a.m. after two masked men walked into the Fortune Happiness restaurant, a late-night Chinese restaurant at 654 Broadway East near Fraser Street, and opened fire.
Eight people were caught in the gunfire. Two died at the scene, one is “quite seriously” injured and is now with the other five in hospital. The two gunmen fled the scene.
Police said they arrived to a “chaotic scene” at the restaurant with tables and chairs overturned, customers shot, broken glass on the ground and frantic witnesses.

“As soon as they entered the restaurant they started shooting,” Inspector Bob Chapman told reporters in Vancouver.
“We have nine millimetre and .45 calibre shell casings on the floor,” Insp. Chapman said.
Police were releasing few details of the crime on Thursday morning, but Vancouver Police spokesman Howard Chow said it had the characteristics of an organized crime.
“Something like this is typically a targeted hit,” Constable Chow said from the scene.
Witnesses spent the morning speaking with police as investigators scoured the scene.
Police-escorted tow trucks removed a mini-van, a two-door Honda, a Grand Cherokee Jeep and a four-door Toyota Camry from the restaurant just after 10 a.m..
Carly Ontiveros lives near the Fortune Happiness Restaurant, and said there have been previous problems with the restaurant, which opens its doors in the late evening.
David Morrish, 40, lives across the road from the Fortune Happiness, said he heard at least 10 shots, some of which sounded like they came from a shotgun.
“The first few shots woke me up ... I knew exactly what it was,” Mr. Morrish said of the gunfire.
Mr. Morrish said he had only recently noticed a sign in the restaurant window saying that security cameras had been installed.
The busy street in front of the east-end restaurant was reopened for morning rush-hour traffic, but neighbouring businesses remained closed on Thursday morning.
