Brothers aimed to kill police, didn’t expect to survive Saanich bank shootout
The totality of evidence from almost seven months of investigation into last year’s Saanich bank shootout found the heavily armed brothers were prepared to die as they sought to inflict as many police casualties as possible.
Instead, police believe the brothers didn’t intend to harm the bank hostages but wanted to use them to draw a large police response so the 22-year-olds could inflict as much damage as possible on law enforcement. In the end, both brothers were fatally shot while six officers were injured, three of which were deemed life-threatening at the time.
