He'll be willing to take out many more before they finally shoot him, or he blows his own brains out

Re: Gunman on the loose - Moncton
Depending on what his plan is (how far ahead he's thought it out) he may have slipped the cordon and got away, already commited suicide, or could be holed up in a prepared defensive position ready to do battle. At least now the sun's up the law should have airborne drones with cameras as well as IR imaging searching the forest. A witness said he has 2 assault rifles, a crossbow and a knife. I'm guessing when he is located police will assume he could have explosives as well and approach accordingly. His use of facebook revealing his identity indicates he isn't planning on getting away with it so I'm not holding my breath that he'll surrender.

Re: Gunman on the loose - Moncton
Remind me again, why do guns need to be so freely available ?

Re: Gunman on the loose - Moncton
The area sealed off is only a few minutes away from where I am but the 'action' is some way off.
Schools closed, bus service suspended, Gov offices closed, mail delivery suspended for the day, hospital only taking visitors of critically ill relatives. Even stores have closed when they stay open despite official warnings to stay home for dangerous weather. Garbage trucks haven't been out.
But my newspaper got delivered!!
