traffic in that area is a mess right now with the detours and etc....so attention all drivers...YOU WILL BE LATE FOR WORK!

Got me worried cause I know a buddy who works at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Got the names confused up. Hopefully cops got this under control and no one innocent gets hurt.

yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of Robert Dziekanski's death.

His only demand is for some water right now according to thestar

:suspicious: Does the Hotel room he is in not have a bathroom or sink....

Explains the massive amount of traffic in the downtown area.

i would have gone with taco bell or something

any update?

Reports are saying he's on the third floor, there are no guest rooms on the 3rd, its all conference rooms and open public areas up there.

News1130 latest update mentions that the gunman at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel is a 28 year old guy from Surrey. He is known to police as a person with a history of mental illness. :(

Surrey of course. Here come the jokes :fullofwin:

Did he died?

Peacefully resolved

-police arrested the 28 year gunman. They are taking him to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries. No casualties.

Global News | Armed standoff at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel over

We own a condo at the Fairmont and the couple that lives in our condo is so freaked out that the guy called me today and said he might want to move out of the building end of the month, lol like wtf.

haha seriously??

because crazed gunman take over hotels on a daily basis right?! hahaha :badpokerface:

Lol, I know eh. I spoke with the manager at the building and he said the cops had basically boxed the guy in right away and no one was in real danger.

Maybe it might be in your best interest to not rent to people that are that stupid.

Lol, actually both are doctors if you can believe that. I guess some people retract to incidents like this differently and get super freaked out.

Both probably had a "sheltered" lifestyles/upbringing (i.e. gated communities or out in a small quiet town)
