A <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/news/richmond-police-incident" target="_blank">brazen daytime shooting at Vancouver International Airport</a> on Sunday afternoon was followed by a high-speed chase through the streets of Richmond and the discovery of a burned-out car in Surrey.
Gangsters don&#8217;t care where they commit crimes, crossing two, three, or sometimes more police jurisdictions in the process.
Former B.C. solicitor general Kash Heed says Metro Vancouver&#8217;s patchwork of badges means no one is accountable for mistakes.

&#8220;I listed five police leaders that got up and talked about these incidents,&#8221; he said of recent briefings held by police. &#8220;Not one of them could I look to and say the public can hold that person accountable.&#8221;
Metro Vancouver is the only large urban area in the country without a unified police force as the region is divided up between municipal forces and the RCMP. There have been calls for an amalgamation on and off for decades.

During past outbreaks of gang violence, there were complaints about a lack of coordination and communication.
Police say things have improved dramatically since then, and the forces are now heavily integrated.
&#8220;In this case when we see a surge in gang violence across municipalities, we have an opportunity to further unite,&#8221; RCMP Asst. Commissioner Dwayne McDonald.
&#8220;So we conduct joint forces operations, we currently are coordinating the individual uniformed gang units of each municipality.&#8221;

				Man killed outside Vancouver airport is region&#8217;s 10th shooting in only 3 weeks			</a>
		
	
Despite those efforts, the suspects in Sunday&#8217;s shooting managed to drive 28 km from YVR and burn their getaway car in Surrey, all before effective roadblocks could be set up.
Mike Farnworth, B.C.&#8217;s current solicitor, believes police have the funding they need.
&#8220;They work very closely together,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is an extraordinary level of cooperation, whether it&#8217;s RCMP forces or municipal forces. And we know that they are working as hard as they can.&#8221;
Despite the perceived advantages, the momentum and timing to establish a regional police force have long since passed.
&#8220;We still have this traditional law enforcement structure that I strongly believe is part of the problem, why we&#8217;re not getting in front of this violent behaviour,&#8221; Heed said.
&#8220;The fact that we&#8217;ve got these 30 Balkanized police agencies spread out just in the Metro Vancouver area, and you try and hold someone accountable for it, it&#8217;s very troubling.&#8221;

A shooting at an upscale South Florida shopping mall that began as a fight between two groups of people left three persons injured Saturday afternoon and sent mall patrons fleeing, according to police and local reports.
Live aerial TV news footage showed mall patrons running from the Aventura Mall after reports of gunfire as law enforcement vehicles converged on the scene.
Aventura Police said two groups of people had begun fighting in the mall and then there was a shooting.

One individual in one of the groups produced a gun, and an individual in the other group produced a gun and fired it, said an Aventura police spokesman, Michael Bentolila, briefing reporters on live television.
Police said the three people injured were being treated at hospitals and their injuries were not life-threatening.
Aventura Police also tweeted later that authorities had several suspects in custody who were being questioned by detectives. Police had no immediate report on what touched off the incident.

Authorities said all patrons and employees were escorted from the shopping complex and added officials were restricting access to the mall until further notice.
Aventura City Manager Ron Wasson told The Miami Herald that authorities were sweeping the area in case someone dropped a firearm.

&#8220;They just want to make sure if someone might have dumped a weapon, we don&#8217;t miss it,&#8221; he told the newspaper.
Videos shared on social media community forums show officers who appeared to be arresting a man outside the mall. Other footage showed shoppers running out of the stores or seeking cover.
Luke Lockart, 22, said he was in Armani Exchange checking out when he heard screaming and things falling over because people were running into the store and knocking over mannequins.
&#8220;They were trying to hide anywhere they could because no one knew what was going on,&#8221; said Lockart, who works in real estate.

The staff at the store eventually locked the doors and asked people to go into a back room, he said.
Police and first responders were running through the hallway outside within minutes.
&#8220;They were on top of it,&#8221; he said.
He followed updates on social media about what was happening including rumours that the suspect had not yet been caught, saying &#8220;It was a very uneasy feeling,&#8221; adding that this &#8220;happens too often.&#8221;

He estimated he spent more than an hour in the store before police escorted everyone out of the mall, saying the traffic leaving the area was terribly congested.
Aventura Mall calls itself on its online site as a premier shopping destination in the Miami area and South Florida.
In May 2020, two people were wounded and taken to a hospital after an argument led to a shooting inside the same mall. Back then, Aventura police said the shooting also followed an argument at the Nordstrom department store.

The death of a 64-year-old man whose body was found at a home in northeast Edmonton earlier this week has been deemed suspicious, police said Friday.
The Edmonton Police Service said officers were called to a multi-unit residence in the area of 66 Street and 120 Avenue shortly before midnight on Monday after someone said there was a dead man inside.

The cause of death, however, is &#8220;not being released at this time for investigative purposes,&#8221; police said.
The man who died has been identified as Peter Meyer.
Police said homicide detectives continue to investigate what happened and anyone who may have seen anything suspicious near where Meyer&#8217;s body was found that night is asked to call them at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone.
Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at <a href="http://www.p3tips.com/250" rel="nofollow">http://www.p3tips.com/250</a>.
