Police have shut down part of downtown Vancouver after a distraught man with a handgun walked into the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel early this morning.
Police say the man, believed to be in his 20s, walked into the lobby of the hotel around 2:30 a.m. PT and showed his gun to staff.
He is now in a public area by himself on the second floor. Officers have been negotiating with him, but so far he has only asked for water and made no demands, said police.
