NEW: ‘Very scary:’ Neighbour in Bourget, Ont. describes hearing shooting that killed OPP officer ottnews
A Bourget, Ont. woman is sharing details of a shooting in the small village east of Ottawa that left one Ontario Provincial Police officer dead and two others injured, saying she heard multiple shots several times and yelling at the property next door.
OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique said officers were responding to a call reporting gunshots in the neighbourhood. "There was quiet until the gunshots going off, and I wasn't even positive it was gunshots. I was hoping fireworks, something else – there's hunters in the area," Maynard said. Ontario Provincial Police cruisers parked at a home in Bourget, Ont. as the investigation continues into a shooting that killed an OPP officer on Thursday. "It's a very safe community but that was a very scary evening for us. We have two children, it is our home – you know, our safety was definitely a concern during this event because it was so close. It was traumatic to know that these officers were being injured and killed in such a way that doesn't make any sense.
Maynard says she has never heard Bellefeuille's name and not interacted with the individual at the home on Laval Street. Flags are flying at half-mast at the Rockland City Hall, and a book of condolences will available for residents to sign in memory of Sgt. Mueller on Saturday.
