Original story: 

CHILLIWACK — B.C. Ambulance Service paramedics, Chilliwack Fire Department crews and Chilliwack RCMP members were dispatched for the report of two possible stabbings over the weekend.

The first incident involved a reported stabbing in the 46000 block of Second Avenue in Chilliwack Saturday evening, just east of a multi-storey housing complex.

Chilliwack first responders were first paged at about 6:53 p.m. Saturday evening. According to scanner traffic, both BCAS paramedics and Chilliwack firefighters were advised by emergency dispatch that the call was a “wait for the fives,” referring to police.

When a single Chilliwack Fire Department engine arrived on scene, firefighters radioed dispatch to say there was one B.C. Ambulance on scene and three RCMP units on scene, as depicted in the picture accompanying this story.

Firefighters later radioed dispatch to say the scene was left in care of RCMP members.

Kaur Pawan wrote on Facebook about the incident: “I heard a lot of sirens on First Avenue. Something was definitely going on. I saw ambulances and several police cars heading toward Second Avenue. A police officer even arrested someone just behind the Esso station.”
