Six dead in flat ‘were targeted’

AT LEAST six people found dead in a flat in a Vancouver suburb appear to have been targeted in a deliberate attack, police say.

Corporal Dale Carr, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police murder investigator, told a news conference outside the building in Surrey, British Columbia, that the six victims were all males, but he had no details about their ages. He said police were still trying to identify the victims.

The bodies were discovered on Friday by firefighters and hazardous materials workers responding to a reported gas leak, said Cpl Carr.
