After a disastrous rollout last week, the City of Kamloops is asking Transport Canada to once again allow pedestrians to cross the train tracks at Third Avenue after large events in Riverside Park and at Sandman Centre. The city announced it would funnel foot traffic over the Third Avenue overpass after Kamloops Blazers games and other large events in the park as part of a bid to keep Transport Canada from closing the rail crossing altogether due to safety concerns. However, city CAO David Trawin said the first attempt to block off the crossing after a Blazers game last Wednesday was “very unsuccessful. “To put it bluntly, some people were very disrespectful of bylaw officers,” he said, with about 100 people pushing past the barriers. Trawin said one officer was pushed following the game and remains off work.

Police continued to search for a killer as of KTW press deadline yesterday after what a restaurant owner called a “nightmare” played out on a North Shore street late Friday afternoon. Emergency crews were called to a sushi restaurant in the 400-block of Tranquille Road just after 4:45 p.m. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said a 30-year-old assault victim was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with seri-
ous injuries. He died at 11:30 p.m. The suspect fled on foot and had not been found as of last night. Sam Zhang, owner of Hatsuki Sushi on Tranquille Road, said the restaurant was busy as the incident played out. “I think one woman and two men were drinking at the Duchess, so after that I think they were a little bit drunk and they were trying to buy some sushi from us,” he told KTW. Zhang said the trio left the restaurant before placing an order and began arguing outside. “We could hear it,” he said. “It was noisy.
“Then, the murderer stabbed him. There was blood outside the door.” Zhang said the victim took refuge inside his restaurant, as did the woman, who was crying. “All our employees were trying to help him, to stop the bleeding,” he said. “It’s really scary . . . It’s just a nightmare.” Bush said the victim and the suspect were known to each other and the attack was not random. She refused to release the suspect’s name. “We’re not releasing any further details,” she said. “We have identified a suspect.”
