Vancouver police are still searching for a suspect after a man with a gun forced his way into a West End apartment Tuesday afternoon.

Officers were called to the building around 3:30 p.m. after a man escaped his suite near the busy intersection of Denman and Davie streets and phoned 911 from the nearby Boathouse restaurant.

Four people were inside the apartment at the time of the break-in, according to VPD Sgt. Randy Fincham. A second man escaped by jumping from a balcony and was taken to hospital with minor injuries, while a third man and a woman were found safe inside the building.

Police closed off Davie Street between Bidwell and Denman streets shortly after the call came in, but a search of the area did not turn up a suspect. Two of the victims are known to police, and investigators believe the incident was targeted.

Sue Barbour had been driving her son Joshua, a cook at the Boathouse Restaurant, to work when the two were suddenly caught in the middle of the action that hits the streets after the invasion.
