COQUITLAM, B.C. – At least two RCMP officers have been injured in what is being described as a critical incident in the Metro Vancouver city of Coquitlam.

Carley Hodges says she saw one officer being taken out of a building on a stretcher while getting chest compressions, and a second officer was bleeding from the leg with a tourniquet above it.

Premier David Eby told reporters that a critical incident had happened in the city, but the public was no longer in danger.

More coming.
