Vancouver rundown for Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
Two teens have been arrested in the stabbing
death of a 15 -year -old boy in an Abbotsford
park Sunday evening. Police think the attack
in the large park was targeted. Details have
not been released, but officers want people to
call in if they have any information. The park
remained closed on Monday. Breaking news. The
pilot and lone occupant had survived the crash
of her small plane east of Agassiz. The Cessna
crashed into a field between Highway 7 and the
Fraser River on Seabird Island early Monday evening.
A witness reported seeing a small fire with the
plane. Other news, a man is in critical condition
after being rescued from a fire in a Burnaby
apartment building. He was pulled from a heavily
damaged unit after crews put out the blaze on
Boundary Road. Early Monday afternoon, a cat
died in the fire. Vancouver Coastal Health is
concerned about a cluster of recent whooping
cough cases in the Pemberton area. Parents are
being urged to immediately get the kids vaccinated.
Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a
serious bacterial infection that attacks the
airway. It's usually associated with young children
but can attack adults. Those living in Pemberton
and a nearby First Nation are being asked to
closely monitor any symptoms with family members.
A mix of sun and cloud in the forecast. Warm
at times on Tuesday, sunshine on Wednesday and
even warmer. Showers for Thursday. For all the
