New Brunswick RCMP have confirmed that three officers were shot and killed and two other officers were wounded by a heavily armed gunman Wednesday evening in Moncton.A police manhunt is still underway for Justin Bourque, 24. The RCMP say Bourque is considered "armed and dangerous."Paul Greene, an RCMP spokesman, said Bourque was last seen in the wooded area near the Pinehurst subdivision. Police are asking people to keep their doors locked and leave their outdoor lights on.RCMP Const. Damien Theriault could not say how many police officers were involved in the manhunt. Theriault, visibly emotional during a news conference, asked the public not to disclose any information about the police operation or locations of officers on social media.One witness near the scene of the shooting told CBC News he saw one officer bleeding from a wound toward the top of her head. The witness said the RCMP rushed her away in a police cruiser. Hospital staff confirmed some of the victims arrived at the hospital in police cars.Dr. Dhany Charest, the chief of staff at the Moncton Hospital, said two gunshot victims related to the tragedy were being treated. A third patient was being treated from a separate gunshot incident that occurred on Wednesday evening.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
b) Even better that he is alive and going to jail. Not that there would be the most likely mass murderer to become a martyr for a loony group but it has happened before.
This sounds like a police operation to arrest someone that went bad and ended with 3 officers killed.At least that what it looks like to me. Is there any information on why the shoot out happens to start off with? It is very rare for that many police officers to be at any one location unless it is to apprehend a known dangerous suspect.
