Four people were killed in our provincial capital this morning. Among them were two officers responding to a call. There are a number of people in the hospital being treating for serious injuries including the gunman. There are few details about the incident but we will hear more as the day goes on. I am waiting for the live news conference to start.
Two Fredericton police officers are among four people confirmed dead in an early-morning shooting in a residential area on the city's north side. The police chief and city officials will give an update at 4 p.m. AT (3:00 p.m. ET).

@Happy2BeMe Yes, I'm sure we will. Sadly, it will not bring back those poor victims.

I briefly heard about that on the radio earlier today as I was driving to go shopping. It depressed me to hear about it.

They haven't released an official cause but I heard it was the ex boyfriend of the young girl that was killed.

This news brought tears to my eyes this morning when I first heard of it.
God bless those fighting for their lives, and for those families grieving, and bless and strengthen our RCMP, police men and women and those who attended to the victims on scene, as well as those accepting and working on the patients at the hospital.
