Point-blank range: Video captures brazen shooting in downtown Vancouver

A brazen shooting was captured on video late Saturday afternoon in downtown Vancouver.

The video shows two suspects exiting a white sedan near Robson and Richards streets around 5:40 p.m.

The two suspects, who were wearing masks, then are seen approaching a black SUV before unleashing a barrage of bullets.

The black SUV then drives forward and crashes into another vehicle. A man then exits the SUV from the front passenger side and bolts out of frame.

The two gunmen keep shooting and then flee back to their vehicle.
