Police responding to "major" incident in South Vancouver

There was a large police presence in South Vancouver Wednesday evening, and a Vancouver Police Department spokesperson couldn’t say much except to ask the public to avoid the area.

Multiple cop cars were seen near East 64th and Knight Street just after 7:30 pm, according to social media reports.
