Prof. Robert Gordon from Simon Fraser University’s school of criminology said he sees parallels with last week’s Saanich bank shootout and the 2019 manhunt after the murders of three people in B.C.
Questions of what would motivate twin brothers to enter a British Columbia bank dressed in body armour and prepared for a gun battle remain unanswered, but a criminologist sees similarities to two other young men who terrified Canadians in 2019.
The minds of men who are drawn to firearms and not doing “very well” in life are intriguing, he said, noting the failed application of one of the twins to join the armed forces.A statement from the Canadian Armed Forces said Mathew Auchterlonie had applied to be part of the military but didn’t pass the aptitude test.“As the name implies, the program lasts one day, and participants are provided a certificate at the end as a keepsake,” it said.
“We’re all very shocked still. It’s a very tight community around here,” Dougan said. “ just very surprised and just feel awful for the family going through this.”“Because they get caught up in some bizarre mixture of entertainment and news, and decide to create their own reality.” “What happened a week ago in Victoria, bears some similarity in that it was a small, suburban bank that was attacked,” he said.
