A suspicious death at a supportive housing building in Victoria has prompted calls for stronger safety measures.

A group of low-barrier housing providers is calling for an immediate weapons ban at all supportive housing buildings in B.C. They say the only tool they have for tenants with weapons is eviction.

The group says a legislated ban on weapons would allow police to enforce the rule.

Victoria police called Keith Scott’s death a suspected homicide.
