Shit like this doesnt happen here

I live in the Maritimes, mass shootings just do not happen here.  Until last night.

An armed man started shooting last night in the city I work in. As of this morning he has killed 3 RCMP officers and seriously wounded 2 others.  The entire tri-city area has been shut down, and the 5 KM radius of where they think the shooter is has been locked down with people stuck in their or their friends basements. 

Thankfully no one else has been harmed since late last night, and with daylight it should make the manhunt a little easier/safer for the RCMP this morning.

I do have to say that I'm seriously proud of my city and the people in it.  People following directions from the RCMP, transport trucks have been donated to block city streets from a major trucking company, and major corporations shutting their door so that their employees can stay home and off the streets.

Horrific. I couldn't believe it when I saw it on the news last night. Thoughts are with the people of Moncton. Keep safe, JPS.
