IHIT says the guy deliberately shot the guard first then himself
(this is from this afternoon)
Quote:
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has confirmed the man who shot CBSA agent Lori Bowcock fired on her directly before turning the gun on himself.
IHIT head Insp. Kevin Hackett identified the gunman as 32-year-old Andrew Michael Crews, of Bremerton. And he refuted an earlier report that Bowcock had been shot by accident with the bullet that passed through Crews’ head.
“This investigation remains in the early stages and investigators are attempting to determine a motive. The current evidence clearly indicates that prior to taking his own life, Mr. Crews deliberately fired at the victim,” Hackett said. “There is no evidence however to suggest the victim was specifically targeted. RCMP, IHIT and international law enforcement continue to work together to advance this investigation. Our thoughts are with the CBSA Officer and her family during this difficult time.”
