Vancouver Police say a domestic violence victim called 9-1-1 over the weekend to report that her boyfriend had shot her multiple times with a BB gun. 

The woman called 9-1-1 Saturday (April 17) night to report that her boyfriend "had shot her multiple times with a BB gun and trashed her West End apartment before taking off," explains a news release. 

Police say the suspect was armed with a crossbow and fled the scene before officers arrived. 

"We worked with the victim to develop a safety plan to keep her safe until the investigation is completed," added VPD spokesperson Sgt. Steve Addison in a press conference.

Dozens of patrol officers have searched the city for the suspect, who remains at large.
