MONCTON, N.B. - The RCMP in New Brunswick said a manhunt was underway late Wednesday in the north end of Moncton for a man armed with guns after an undisclosed number of people were shot.
Const. Damien Theriault said police were urging people in the area to stay inside.
'We're advising people to stay inside until further notice,' Theriault said.
Theriault would not confirm reports that a police officer had been shot.
He said the search for the suspect was concentrated in the area of Ryan Street and Hildegarde Road.
Sean Gallacher, who lives near the area where police are concentrating their search, said he heard what he now believes were gunshots but initially thought his daughter had dropped some toys on the floor above him.
'I was downstairs and heard a few bangs,' said Gallacher, 35.
'I went to check but she hadn't dropped anything. Then I heard the news and realized what it actually was.' More to come... The Canadian Press
