Police in Vancouver are putting together a task force to attack the gang problem in the city following the latest killings early Tuesday.
Two men were shot dead in a car at the intersection of Granville Street and 70th Avenue around 2:15 a.m., bringing the total number of targeted killings in the city to four this week alone.

Deputy Chief Bob Rich said at a news conference Tuesday morning that police are deciding how many officers should be assigned to the task force, and what the new strategy will involve.
"The task force will be very much [an] in-your-face kind of task force, confronting people who are in gangs, finding out where they live," said Rich.
Across the Lower Mainland, 17 people have been killed in targeted shootings in 2007, prompting debate over whether the province should create a single police force for the entire Metro Vancouver area.
Currently, Vancouver, Delta, West Vancouver, and New Westminster have their own police forces. Other municipalities in the Lower Mainland are policed by the RCMP.
