Early this morning on Richards Street, between Hastings and Cordova, a fight escalated into gun shots leaving one man dead and another in custody. This is Vancouver's 16th murder of the year.

This murder comes after a week of coverage on the issue of gun violence as 24 Hours Vancouver has been exploring the gun issue in depth and we found out that Regina of all places has, technically, the highest murder rate in Canada, "Regina had the worst murder rate in Canada in 2004, at 4.98 per 100,000 people, with Winnipeg at 4.89, Abbotsford at 4.39, Edmonton at 3.4 and Toronto at 1.8."
