A man who targeted homeless people fatally shot two men in a Vancouver, British Columbia, suburb before being shot and killed by police, authorities said Monday. Police had issued a cellphone alert saying they were at the scene of several shootings “involving transient victims.” The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said an emergency response team found a suspect not far from where a man was found with a gunshot to his leg. During an interaction with police, the suspect was shot and pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. Two others were wounded — a woman who was in critical condition and the man shot in the leg, police said. Authorities said most of the shootings were in downtown Langley, a town of 26,000 about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of Vancouver. One reported shooting was in neighboring Langley Township. Police offered no immediate word on the suspect’s motive or identity.
