Man, this is going to get real fucking weird real quick.

The word around French media right now, is that it was allegedly an Albertan resident that supposedly wrote a manifesto. That is going to muddy the discourse for sure if this is true.

RIP to the innocent man that was accidentally shot by the cops and to the officer who was killed as well.

Absolutely fucked up

SKS’s have been used in police shootings before no?

Hopefully the government remains reasonable (unlikely) or they they at least avoid banning due to the insanely difficult task of collection (more likely)

Yes from memory there was one used to killing a Abbotsford police a handful of years ago.

That one was nuts, no officers killed and both suspects dead. The ERT was like 6 blocks away at the time so the response was crazy fast

I thought both suspects wanted to engage the police so the bank robbery just a front.
