shooting and killing in the Lower Mainland. There have been 12 shootings in 17 days in February!The provincial government is working on a response. Even the federal government is calling the area the 'center of gang activity' in Canada. Regardless of what they do, this is also a call to prayer for the church. In Romans 13, the Bible talks about one of the roles of government as being, "They are God's servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong" We need to pray for wisdom for these servants of God. What do you think the government should be doing? Vote on our poll at the top of the page!
VANCOUVER -- A four-year-old boy who witnessed his mother's shooting death was taken into provincial custody for his own safety Tuesday, as B.C.'s bloody February continued with the fatal shooting of a home invader, apparently shot by one of his victims.(his mom) Nicole Marie Alemy, 23, who was gunned down behind the wheel of a Cadillac in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey on Monday, was going home after picking up a birthday present, her uncle said a day later.
The car coasted through an intersection before a passerby steered it across a sidewalk and up onto the driveway.
Police arrived on the scene to find the woman dead and the little boy crying but unhurt. The boy was in the back seat of the car when his mother was shot.
In another incident on Tuesday's -- the 12th such shooting in February -- a south Vancouver mother watched in horror as two gunmen forced their way into her home and pointed a gun at her son.
Mabel Mohammed said the gunmen were asking for someone named Azim, whom Ms. Mohammed said the family does not know.
They then shot and wounded her son Aleem, 19, in the shoulder, she said.
His brother, Amir, then wrestled the gun away and shot one of the assailants dead, Ms. Mohammed said, adding that the other assailant fled.
"We are in danger. They came to the wrong house," she said.

Hey Craig... This is very disconcerting... reality comes too close at times. Deana's God-mother and her son live only two blocks away from where the white car was found and Bryce actually delivers papers on the street where the young mother was killed. Sometimes it seems just too close for comfort... even when The Comforter abides within us!!
Wow! that is close. We need to be praying, eh?!
