Confusion over a parked police cruiser and someone wearing a safety vest led two RCMP officers to start shooting at a person at a central Nova Scotia firehall being used as an emergency refuge centre during the manhunt for the gunman in last month's mass shooting.Well, Nova Scotia... best hope these two "Peace Officers" have been transferred to the Rubber Gun Squad.
It's unclear who was wearing a safety vest. Peers said that in addition to the RCMP officer stationed outside the hall, there was a Colchester County official there overseeing the evacuation centre.
The gunfire damaged one of the fire trucks. It left bullet holes in a stone monument to fallen members and in the walls of the white building which was left peppered with bullet holes.
The incident was over in a few seconds and the officers took off. The gunman at the centre of the manhunt was not in the area at the time.
RCMP still refuses to identify...
...the two "Dudleys" who shot up Portapique, N.S. firehall...
