I found an article saying bridges in and out of Richmond are closed because of it https://vancouversun.com/news/local-...couver-airport

Apparently in the YVR landside food court where I used to charge my devices and hang out before check-in would open.

Mentioned as an airport assassination attempt.

most reports saying someone was killed (not the shooter) so unfortunately looks like it wasn’t just an attempt

Yikes! Glad my route to work today includes the ferry, not YVR. Hope it resolves quickly!

Any reports if the target of the assassination attempt was the person who was killed?

Doesn't look like a gangster on circulating Twitter video.

I think roads on and off Sea Island are open now.
The ramp to departure level is closed.
Anyone getting dropped off can do so from the arrivals level.
Train is operating again.

"The victim of the targeted airport shooting has links to the Lower Mainland gang conflict, according to sources."

The YVR food court shooting was apparently from a couple of years ago when the target was a Hells Angels guy in the YVR foodcourt.

This latest shooting at YVR was reported as firing from outside the terminal building. Drive-by shooting?

Any more gang-related assassination attempts at YVR beside just these two?

The food court incident was a failed attempt.
Today's was a drive by.
