VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - After a week long break there's been another shooting in Vancouver, this time at the Cassandra Hotel on Kingsway. It happened just after 2 a.m. when someone started firing shots into a hotel window from a back alley.

People staying at the hotel say they heard what sounded like fireworks but quickly realized it was 10 to 12 rapid shots. Colin was in the room below when the shots rang out. "I don't think these buildings are too safe….I wasn't sure if there were going to be bullets coming through the floor or not. You hear about crossfire and people getting hurt. That was frightening for us."

Police say five people in their 20's were in the room and were targeted. One man was hit in the arm, while the other four were arrested after heavily armed Emergency Response Team officers closed in on the hotel. Three came out with no problems, but one stayed in the room until just after 5 a.m.

Police found no weapons in the room and they say someone targeted these guys but they are not connecting them to gangs at this point.
