It remains unclear what charges led to the warrants being issued, what type of weapon the man allegedly produced and the identities of the two people shot, and the RCMP didn’t respond Wednesday to a request for that information. Parked at the site was a blue bus, which appeared to have been converted into a camper. Two small windows at the rear of the bus were smashed and what appeared to be a large blood stain was visible on some bedding inside. A note attached to the front door of the bus stated: “Warning! May explode if tampered with.”Article content
Lying in plain view on the vehicle’s dash was a two-page handwritten letter on blue paper. The letter was dated January 2022 and the ink appeared to have faded in places. “I do not consent to participate with a corrupt system, I just want to be left alone. How you choose to respond will determine if a traffic violation is worth a life or two.”
