The New Brunswick RCMP have confirmed that three officers have been killed and two have been wounded in a shooting in Moncton, N.B.

A police manhunt is still underway for Justin Bourque, 24, after at least two people were shot. The RCMP say Bourque is considered "armed and dangerous."

"There is an active shooter in the Moncton area. We're asking residents to stay in their homes and lock their doors," said Rogers-Marsh.



At 10:05 p.m. AT RCMP said the shooter was near the Costco.

The Horizon Health Network has confirmed on Twitter that the Moncton Hospital has received two patients with gunshot wounds. The hospital is restricting visitors to those with "critically ill family members."

The RCMP are advising people in the Hildegard Drive and Ryan Road area to stay inside "due to an ongoing shooting in the area."

The RCMP tweeted at 9:35 p.m. that the shooter is believed to be in the woods near Pinehurst Park.

Motorists were warned to avoid the Plaza Boulevard area.

Parts of Wheeler Boulevard are cordoned off and traffic on Mountain Road is backed up.

A police helicopter is flying in the area.

There is a picture of the shooter on the linked page.

But did he leave a 140 page manifesto about hating cops?  If not, not interested.

Dude is still on the loose.

He should've published a pamphlet and left it at the scene.

How do you know he didn't?

[Ideologue]

Because I forgot to pick it up from Kinko's.

OH FU

How would the registry stopped this?

The rifle he has isn't an "assault rifle" or anything special.

Seedy alluded to it in a different thread.

If a guy's acting a little nutty, then he goes and buys a gun, you can cross reference the sale and the nuttiness.  Then, presumably, you take the gun back or your throw him in the skull ranch.

Do we know that the gun was recently purchased? He could have had that gun for years, well before the nuttiness set in. Furthermore, his nuttiness may not have been known to the authorities.

Anyways, my question was directed to this incident in specific. I acknowledge that in the long run such a system would prevent some shootings.

Is there actually a law to do that?  The legislature in Missouri was furious when the Governor of Missouri tried to create such an index.  They've threatened to impeach him over it.

GF's title is ridiculous.  Canada had a long gun registry, it was abolished a couple years ago after spending a couple billion dollars to no particular effect.  There's no reason to think a gun registry would have made any difference in this situation.

At least it was just cops that got shot.

Reaction to the shooting was caught on video. These folks are pretty brave/stupid to be watching that going on like that on.
