The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed Wednesday evening that three of its officers were killed and two others were wounded by a gunman in Moncton, New Brunswick.

The RCMP said on its Twitter feed that they were looking for 24-year-old Justin Bourque of Moncton, who is considered armed and dangerous. The police force tweeted an image of a suspect wearing military camouflage and wielding two guns.

Police posted to social media a photograph of a man dressed in fatigues, carrying what appeared to be a rifle.

Danny Leblanc, 42, said he saw the shooter in the distance Wednesday evening, wearing a camouflage outfit and standing in the middle of the street with his gun pointed at police cars.

The construction worker said he believed it was an RCMP officer until he heard a burst of automatic gunfire coming from the man's gun.

"That guy was standing on the road afterwards and he was looking towards us," he said.

He said he quickly retreated into his home and remained there with his family. At one point a neighbor posted on social media that their kitchen window was shattered by gunfire.

Leblanc, who was in contact with friends on Facebook, said few people on his normally quiet street were sleeping as they awaited word at midnight on whether arrests had been made.

Word that police had been killed shocked the city, Leblanc said.

"It's devastating. I don't know if he was on a hunt for them, or what," he said.

RCMP spokesman Paul Greene said the two wounded officers were hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries.

Constable Damien Theriault said police were urging people in the northern part of the city to stay indoors. Moncton, located in eastern New Brunswick, has a population of just under 70,000.

Police said Wednesday night they believed the suspect was at large in a subdivision. Police had a number of roads in the city blocked and traffic was backed up on major arteries across the city. Drivers were also asked to stay out of the area.

Sean Gallacher, who lives near the area where police were concentrating their search, said he heard what he now believes were gunshots but initially thought his daughter had dropped some toys on the floor above him.

"I was downstairs and heard a few bangs," said Gallacher, 35.

Will Njoku told the CBC that he was emptying his dishwasher and putting his children to bed at around 8 p.m. local time when he heard popping sounds.

"Within 30 seconds I heard sirens," he said, before adding that he heard five more shots after the sirens. When news broke that there was a shooter, he said he went outside to warn his neighbors.

"I felt pretty dumb. But there was people going down there," he said. "I just know my neighborhood. It’s just kid city."

Canadian Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney tweeted that he was "shocked by the tragedy" and that his thoughts and prayers were with frontline RCMP officers.

I hope they get him before harms/kill anyone else. He wouldn't get near my family or in my house in one piece.
I hate these guys who dress up like Rambo, retarded.

Thanks for the contributions, Illusion

One man tweeted a photo taken by his friend, purportedly showing the shooter from behind.

Pics of bloodshed.

That video misses the start where they show the cops facing the wrong way as the shooter came from behind them. The people in the house were banging on their front window to warn the cops but they didn't hear them. Someone needs to take this guy out before more are killed.

Only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a..... oh.

Wonder how much time this shithead will serve; killing cops is still a big no-no up here.

Maybe, just maybe this waste of space will get brutally attacked in prison.
