Vancouver police say two people were  injured and officers shot a suspect  during a stabbing in downtown Vancouver  Wednesday.
There was a  heavy police presence at the intersection of Robson and Hamilton streets, with a 7-Eleven convenience store behind a police  cordon. A video obtained by Global News shows a man behind the  cash register holding what appears to be a knife and violently swinging an object at a staff  member as the worker pleads with him to take  what he  wants.
A short time later, three police officers  entered the store and  yelled at the man to drop the knife and  move.
One of the officers  fired a Taser at the suspect as other officers  continued to order him to  move. A woman can be heard screaming before  police opened fire. At least 11 gunshots  were heard. A woman who was behind the  counter, but  not in sight, can be seen running  for safety.

Mainul Islam, an international student and food delivery  driver, said he  had just  arrived at the store to pick up an order when the attack  happened.
He said the suspect was trying to steal something from the store when an employee tried to  intervene.
"And he just  pulled out the knife and  tried to stab  me," he said, describing a weapon  the size of his  forearm.
"After that, (the employee) said you can take whatever you want, but he didn't listen. Maybe he got angry."
Islam said the man then stabbed a woman  in the  store.
Police arrived moments later, he  said.
"And then all of a  sudden, it happened.  The police came and shot this  man. The police tried  to subdue him  at first, but he  resisted. That's how they shot him."

British Columbia Emergency Health Services said three people were  taken to hospital in critical  condition.
In an update Wednesday afternoon, Vancouver police said officers were called to the area just after 11:30 a.m. when staff at Original Joes, a nearby restaurant, called 911 to report a man armed with a knife had stolen  alcohol.
Responding officers found the suspect  inside the 7-Eleven,  said VPD  Constable Tania  Visintin. Story continues  below
Visintin said officers shot the suspect. He was taken to  the hospital, but died despite  efforts to save him.
"When this incident  occurred, the best information we had at the time was that two people  had been stabbed," Visintin  added.
"What we  know now, after these people  went to  the hospital, is that one person was stabbed and another person  was injured  ... their injuries  do not  appear to be  life-threatening." »
