Suspectssought inpelletshooting

A pair of pedestrians suffered minor injuries after they were randomly shot by pellet guns in Coquitlam’s City Centre neighbourhood last month

RCMP are now asking for the public’s help to identify the suspects involved in the unprovoked assault

On Feb 21 around 12:20 a m , two unknown men were walking behind the victims near the intersection of Glen and Lansdowne drives just south of Gleneagle Secondary

They used guns to shoot more than a dozen pellets at the pedestrians’ legs, Mounties spokesperson Cpl Alexa Hodgins said

The men then fled on

Mathewson said there were lots of questions from visitors, though, mostly about where exactly they’re allowed to drink

As a result, she said, additional signage to provide greater clarity on the boundaries where alcohol consumption is allowed is recommended, at a cost of about $1,500 and additional

support for park maintenance would cost about $35,000 for a half-time position

Mathewson said staff will report back to council in the spring with a plan to collect feedback from residents about the program over the summer months, then again later in the year with a final assessment

It’s the anniversary gift we all wish would come true

Khalida Noori is set to fulfill a dream of buying a house for her family after she recently became B C’s newest millionaire on the the same date as her wedding anniversary

The Coquitlam resident earned the $1-million payday after scratching a $10 Jackpot Multiplier ticket she purchased in Burnaby

Noori said she remained in shock from calling her husband to the moment the couple claimed the big cheque at the BC Lottery

Corporation’s (BCLC) office in Vancouver

“I’m on top of the world,” Noori said in a news release

“My life is completely changed by this win”

Noori said she came home that afternoon after purchasing a ticket at the Real Canadian Superstore in Metrotown

‘I WAS SHAKING’

“I chose one ticket and scratched it and was in disbelief when I saw I had won,” she said “I was shaking”

According to BCLC, Noori’s ticket was validated when she used the Lotto! app

Her win was also the top prize of the $10 Jackpot Multiplier game

BCLC said in 2022, more than $177 million in prizes were claimed through scratch-and-win tickets across the province
