VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A man is dead after a shooting on a busy downtown Vancouver street.

It happened around 8:30 last night near Helmcken and Hornby Streets; Police haven't made any arrests so far. The man was apparently shot while on the street, then stumbled into a nearby Subway restaurant.

Police were called after hearing reports of shots fired. A woman living nearby told News1130 she heard at least three shots from her apartment. Paramedics tried to revive the man, but he died a short time later.

The victim's name hasn't been released. Members of the Gang Task-Force were among those combing through the crime scene late last night.

The shooting marks the first murder in Vancouver in 2011, but the second shooting in less than a week. On Sunday morning, a bouncer was shot in the leg at outside a Granville Street bar.
