....thats a shame. Perhaps they should've went in armed with SWAT teams and such. Too bad 4 good guys lost their lives fighting evil.

Too bad it was too late.

hrmm. is jtf 2 only stationed in ottawa, or do they have bases on the east and west's coasts?

No it's only in Ottawa. These guys were from Edmonton. Probably PPCLI.

Press confrence is on CBC now. RCMP says they were guarding the place overnight and the suspect wasn't there. But then in the morning he showed up and killed the RCMP guarding the place. Thats why they wern't swat. I guess they didn't think the guy would come home or something.

....you're telling me ONE armed suspect killed 4 trained mounties gaurding the complex??

ninty · 03-03-2005, 05:56 PM

It was with a high powered rifle, so he could have been 200+ meters away, while the RCMP only had their pistols. You're not gonna hit anything from long distances with a pistol. RCMP were also wearing body armour, so it had to get through that too.

I wasn't there nor do i know the layout or weapon details but....ya think after hearing a single shot the officers would've seeked cover?

Like i said, hard to comment without knowing details. I'm sure the officers did what they were trained to do but somehow the bad guy(s) had the edge.

Yeah, I know. I agree, it does sound kind of oOo:

How can one druggie kill 4 trained cops.

Probably won't know for a while about exactly what happened, so really I can't tell you either.
