MONCTON, N.B. — A nerve-wracking manhunt came to an end early Friday morning after police apprehended the suspect wanted in one of the worst mass shootings in the RCMP’s history that left three Mounties dead and two others wounded in Moncton, N.B.
Paul Greene, a spokesman with the RCMP, said Justin Bourque was arrested at around 12:10 a.m., bringing to a close a harrowing search that lasted nearly 30 hours.
Bourque, 24, was wanted after the shootings Wednesday evening in the northwest area of the city.
Michelle Thibodeau said she saw the Moncton man arrested in the frontyard of her home.
“I’m still shaking,” said Thibodeau, 21.
“It was very scary. My whole family was shaking.”
She said she heard the suspect say, “I’m done,” prior to his arrest as officers had their guns drawn.
