3 officers killed, 2 injured in Canada shooting
MONCTON, New Brunswick (AP) ? Three police officers were shot dead and two others injured Wednesday in the east coast Canadian province of New Brunswick, officials said. Authorities were searching for a suspect.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in New Brunswick confirmed on its Twitter feed that three officers were dead and two others had sustained non-life threatening injuries. Police spokesman Paul Greene confirmed the deaths. The RCMP said on Twitter that they were looking for 24-year-old Justin Bourque of Moncton. The police force tweeted an image of a suspect wearing military camouflage and wielding two guns. Danny Leblanc, 42, said he saw the shooter in the distance Wednesday evening, wearing a camouflage outfit and standing in the middle of the street with his gun pointed at police cars. The construction worker said he believed it was an RCMP officer until he heard a burst of automatic gunfire coming from the man's gun. "That guy was standing on the road afterwards and he was looking towards us," he said. He said he quickly retreated into his home and remained there with his family. At one point a neighbor posted on social media that their kitchen window was shattered by gunfire. Leblanc, who was in contact with friends on Facebook, said few people on his normally quiet street were sleeping as they awaited word at midnight on whether arrests had been made. Word that police had been killed shocked the city, Leblanc said. "It's devastating. I don't know if he was on a hunt for them, or what," he said. Police said Wednesday night they believed the suspect was at large in a Moncton subdivision. Police had a number of roads in the city blocked and traffic was backed up on major arteries across the city. Drivers were also asked to stay out of the area. Moncton Mayor George LeBlanc urged all residents to pay strict attention to the RCMP warnings. "The police and other emergency personnel are working under extremely difficult conditions and need our complete cooperation. Stay home, stay safe. If you cannot get home, seek out a friend or family and remain there until you are advised otherwise," LeBlanc said in a statement. Such violence is rare in Canada, particularly on Canada's East Coast. The Horizon Health Network, a provincial health authority, said on its Twitter feed that two patients were taken to Moncton Hospital with gunshot wounds. Theriault said earlier the search for the suspect was concentrated around two streets. Sean Gallacher, who lives near the area where police were concentrating their search, said he heard what he now believes were gunshots but initially thought his daughter had dropped some toys on the floor above him. "I was downstairs and heard a few bangs," said Gallacher, 35. Canadian Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney tweeted that he was "shocked by the tragedy" and that his thoughts and prayers were with frontline RCMP officers. full article... |

Canada is dangerous, people running around with guns, killing cops, shooting up cars n shit.
I'd never go to Canada. That shit is crazy. |
Pretty wild :(

Right in neighborhood I used to live in before moving from there 3 years ago.....

More guns is clearly the answer. If the police officers were properly armed this would have never had happen.
|
When will Canadians FINALLY do something about "gun control"?
Bunch of right wing crazed gun nut Canadians watching Fox News and being led around by The Koch Brothers. I'll bet Bush is involved somehow too. |

The worse part is, the family who filmed one of he shootings could see the shooter about to ambush them, but had no way to warn the officers.

So you're saying that "gun control" doesn't really work and that people who WANT to get a gun and kill people WILL get a gun and kill people...no matter what the govt. says. And then, the only people who DON'T have guns are the law-abiding citizens who would never do such an atrocity to begin with, but could have defended themselves (which is the only reason that a law-abiding citizen does own a gun). I'm not advocating. But just using common sense. If there is no way to magically make all guns disappear from the Earth and never come back...then it just doesn't seem right to dis-arm the vast majority of people and leave them easy prey for criminals who will always find a way to get guns. |

I dont know what he has for guns but I thought I read he was carrying a shotgun. As for the other rifle he had it could just be a restricted model, meaning if he had the proper licensing he could have been legally allowed to own it.
edit: actually it looks like he has a good size magazine on that rifle. You are only allowed a capacity of 5 rounds in Canada, so unless it's a 22, it's illegal. (at least using that magazine with it is) |

After killing several LEO's I hardly think he is worried about the guns he is carrying being legal. |

If he had a only a knife would've killed many cops and escaped just as easy. What he did has nothing to do with the fact he has guns

This implication of that graph is that the United States has 75 times as much gun crime. When you factor in the population size, it is more like 10 times, assuming the numerical data in this graph is correct. |
Any Canadian updates? Have they cornered the guy or is he running lose?
