91原创 has seen a murder, multiple shooting incidents, and even the arrest of people who were allegedly posing as police officers 鈥� all things that have happened in other Lower Mainland communities in recent weeks.

Anti-gang officers have said the gang violence has increased. Most of the murders and shootings have been 鈥渢argeted,鈥� with the people shot or shot at 鈥渒nown to police.鈥�

But there have been incidents of innocent bystanders being shot and killed in the past.

Are you worried for your safety or your family鈥檚 safety given the increase in gang shootings?
