Two men are in hospital and two others are in police custody following a violent incident at an east Vancouver home on Friday morning.
The VPD emergency response team, negotiators, canine officers, and a number of uniformed police were called to a home near the corner of East Georgia Street and Boundary Round at 9 a.m. after receiving reports of reports of a fight, shots fired, and men armed with knives.
The entire 3600 block of East Georgia was blocked off for several hours by the VPD. Heavily-armed SWAT officers patrolled the alley behind the house and more than a dozen police cars and trucks were at the scene.

A patient is transferred from Burnaby Hospital to Royal Columbian Hospital after a violent incident at a home on East Georgian near Boundary Road.
A man working on a house across the street said when police arrived in the area just before 9 a.m., they told the construction team to stop working so their nail guns wouldn’t be confused with the real thing.
The man said he saw four people escorted out of the house where the incident occurred by police. He also said he hadn’t seen nor heard anything suspicious at the house in the days preceding the violence.
The newer home is just half a block from Hells Angels clubhouse of the biker gang’s East End chapter.
Police say the home and crime scene have now been turned over to detectives as the investigation continues to determine what occurred.
Police have not released details about the injuries suffered by the men who were in hospital.
