A manhunt is now on for a heavily armed gunman — this time up north in Canada, in the city of Moncton, New Brunswick.
The Royal Canadian Mountain Police in New Brunswick tells the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that the gunman has killed three RCMP officers and wounded two others. In addition, it has been confirmed that the local hospital has received three patients with gunshot wounds, though it is not clear whether this overlaps with or is in addition to the Mounties.
