Canada police killing suspect seen 3 times

A MAN suspected of killing three Canadian police officers was spotted three times yesterday but has so far eluded a manhunt in the normally tranquil east coast city of Moncton, police said.

Justin Bourque, 24, was seen in three different places around Moncton, which has a population of about 69,000, the latest instance after daylight yesterday morning, said Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commander Marlene Snowman.

Heavily armed RCMP officers are combing streets and woods in search of Bourque, who was wearing military camouflage and carrying two rifles in a picture released by police on Twitter. Schools and government offices were closed, and the city pulled its buses off the roads. Mail delivery was suspended.

Police commandeered armored trucks and told residents to stay indoors.

RCMP Constable Damien Theriault said police responded to a call Wednesday evening about an armed man in the north end of Moncton. Three of the responding officers were killed and two were wounded.

The injured officers were being treated for non life-threatening wounds.
